HIGHEST RESULT FOR THE ARTIST IN 2025

In 2025, Artcurial Morocco reaffirmed its leading position in Orientalism, Moroccan Modern and Contemporary Art, Middle Eastern Art and African Art. The year was marked by the highest auction results of 2025 for Mohamed Melehi, Hassan El Glaoui, Jacques Majorelle, Alexandre Roubtzoff, José Cruz Herrera, Chaïbia, Aboudia, Otto Pilny, Céline Lepage and Pascale Marthine Tayou, as well as three world records for Mona Saudi, Paul-Élie Dubois and Marion Boehm.

These results confirm the strength of our auctions strategy, combining expertise and selectivity to achieve outstanding prices. Since 2019, auctions held at La Mamounia have continued to attract a growing number of Moroccan and international museums, foundations and collectors.

In 2026, Artcurial will continue this momentum with three exceptional sales organised at La Mamounia, Marrakech: A Moroccan Spring on 16 May, Moroccan & African Spirit on 31 October and A Moroccan Winter on 30 December.

These must-see events for Moroccan and international collectors attract significant international exposure, with preview exhibitions held at the Hôtel Marcel Dassault in Paris and La Mamounia in Marrakech.
