DEPARTMENT OF 20TH AND CONTEMPORARY ART
The 20th and Contemporary Art Department delves into the contemporary art scene, a period marked by unprecedented diversity and innovation. Enriched by the major artistic movements of the 20th century and current developments, the department specializes in works that reflect the many experiments, aesthetic ruptures, and societal reflections shaping today’s art.
From the post-war period to current trends, the department covers a wide range of movements, from the pioneers of Lyrical Abstraction, Pop Art, Nouveau Réalisme, Minimalism, Conceptualism, and Street Art, to the latest contemporary practices. Iconic artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, Yves Klein, Pierre Soulages, as well as emerging creators, showcase the diversity and vibrancy of the current art scene.
The works we appraise are a true reflection of the concerns and visual innovations that have shaped successive generations. Paintings, sculptures, installations, and works on paper reveal unique approaches, whether expressed through geometric forms, material explorations, or social and political commentary.
In close collaboration with specialized experts, committees, rights holders, and occasionally the artists themselves, each piece is rigorously authenticated, offering collectors and investors an auction experience where quality meets originality. Our auctioneers enable bidders to discover and acquire exceptional works that capture the spirit of an ever-changing era. Whether enriching a collection or investing in works driven by current trends, our auction house provides a privileged space for those wishing to explore and support contemporary art in all its richness and diversity.
