On 10th April 2024, Artcurial will hold its first sale of the year dedicated to comic strips. On this occasion, the Comic Strips department will auction a previously unseen selection of 49 works by Jacques Rouxel, the father of The Shadoks. These brightly coloured, cheekily humorous drawings are as modern as they are topical. The department also celebrates the 70th anniversary of Martine, Marcel Marlier’s famous heroine.

The Monaco Auction Week sales, held at the Hôtel Hermitage in Monte-Carlo, were a resounding success, with Artcurial’s Watches, Jewellery and Hermès & Luxury Bags. Under the hammers of Stéphane Aubert and Geoffroy Ader, the 5 successive sales totalled €9,101,772.

With numerous auction records and lots sold above €1M, as well as the sale of prestigious private collections and the acquisition of the auction house Beurret Bailly Widmer in Switzerland, 2023 was Artcurial's best year, with a record-breaking result of €217M. 

Following the success of the Moroccan & African Spirit sale on 4th November, Artcurial will be back at La Mamounia on 30th December for the 5th edition of A Moroccan Winter, Majorelle & his Contemporaries and Moroccan & African Spirit sale.
