Paris drawings auctions
Artcurial has a large number of works on paper as part of its March 21 auction of Old Master and 19th century paintings and drawings at its Paris rooms, accounting for around 40% of the 195 lots.
The sale is particularly rich in French 17th century works – to the extent, says Artcurial’s specialist director Matthieu Fournier, that the auctioneers have constructed the catalogue “to create an opening ‘sale’ of 21 lots centred around the idea of chef d’oeuvres of French production from the 17th century: painting, drawings and sculpture”.
