Artcurial invites you to the summer session of the Monaco Auction Week

Artcurial returns to its summer quarters from 15th to 21st July on the Riviera, in the heart of the eternally elegant Monte Carlo. This is an unmissable rendez-vous for enthusiasts and collectors of rare lots.

A sparkling summer in Jewellery

Buoyed by the success of the January 2022 sale that realised over 4M€ including premium, the department has brought together a new and stunning selection of old and contemporary pieces of jewellery that includes all the iconic names such as Cartier, Van Cleef, Bulgari, Chaumet, Boucheron, Buccelatti and Boivin. The selection is made up of diamonds, including one of over 17cts, stunning sapphires and an exceptional case of emeralds and diamonds from a prestigious private collection.

3 unmissable sales for Watch collectors

Artcurial begins this summer session with The Sparkling Collection, an exceptional gathering of nearly 80 ladies’ watches from a private collection. A hidden treasure of a thousand and one nights that has remained in a safe for more than forty years. Piaget reigns supreme with some fifteen lots on offer, including a rare malachite set, lapis lazuli and coral cuffs. Vacheron Constantin, Chopard and Longines are also on display with watches adorned with diamonds, tiger’s eye, opal and turquoise dials.

To celebrate the tenth edition of Le Temps est féminin, an exceptional sale with a hundred rare lots such as a gold and coral set from Patek Philippe, a yellow gold Omega cuff studded with precious stones or a magnificent Cartier Art Deco watch in enamel, onyx and diamonds.

The Fine Watches sale is equally remarkable, with double signatures in the spotlight: Audemars Piguet sold by Audemars Piguet sold by Cartier, Patek Philippe sold by Haussmann. There are also spectacular lots such as Henri Verneuil’s watch or the one that belonged to Johnny Hallyday.

A rainbow of colours for the Hermès & Luxury Bags sale

Hermès, the historic leather goods manufacturer, will be at the centre of this summer session with iconic models such as Birkin, Kelly and Constance. The impressive range of colours on offer highlights the different leathers and exotic skins of the bags in the sale. The highly sought-after special orders and limited editions in the sale will attract the attention of collectors the world over.

The Comic Strips department joins the Monaco Auction Week

The Comic Strips department, making its appearance in Monte-Carlo for the first time, will present a group of 25 drawings by Enki Bilal, the major artist of the 9th art.

A unique opportunity to plunge into the captivating world of this special graphic artist of contemporary comic strips. His work, dealing with themes of time and memory, remains strikingly topical. The works presented come from the albums Julia & Roem, La Couleur de l’air and La Tétralogie du monstre.

This unique rendez-vous once again confirms the leading cultural position held by Monaco and its importance in the art market.

Finally, Monaco Sculptures returns this summer for a third edition!

The sale will comprise an exclusive selection of sculptures by leading artists from the 20th and 21st centuries such as Wang Keping, Bernar Venet, Christian Lapie and Philippe Hiquily. This cultural event will take place between the end of April and the end of July, in the famous locations of La Société des Bains de Mer and Les Jardins de Monte-Carlo. An open-air museum takes place in Monte-Carlo, from the gardens of Petite Afrique to the Saint-James, from Beaumarchais Square to the Hotel de Paris, the Hermitage and the Monte-Carlo Beach. All the sculptures will be auctioned during the Monaco Auction Week. Artcurial will present a lot of 5 wind roses of different sizes to the benefit of the Monegasque Red Cross in favor of Ukraine.
