With the opening of a new office in Miami, at the heart of the Design District, Artcurial continues its international expansion and strengthens its presence across the Atlantic. The House will bring its expertise and know-how to its American clients.
Artcurial Motorcars is opening a new chapter with its first exceptional sale of collectible automobiles, Miami Sunset Super Cars. To support its development in the United States, Adrien Durban has been appointed Managing Director of Artcurial Motorcars USA.
Artcurial continues its international expansion with the opening of a US subsidiary, headquartered in Miami’s Design District. This expansion builds on the house’s international development, already established in Paris, Monaco, Marrakech, and Switzerland.
By establishing itself in the world’s leading market for art, collectible automobiles, and luxury goods, Artcurial affirms its ambition to deploy its expertise and know-how there, offering auctions and tailored services to its clientele across the Atlantic.
It is in Miami, at the heart of the city’s vibrant automotive and lifestyle scene, that Artcurial will launch its American activities with its Artcurial Motorcars department.
