One of the highlights of the session was the Philippe Dennery Collection, which sold 100% of its lots for a total of €5.4M.  
Zao Wou-Ki's masterpiece Ville Verte, a monumental canvas painted in 1952, sold for €3.5M, underlining the historical and artistic importance of this exceptional work. 

The Impressionist & Modern Department also stood out, achieving nearly €7.4M in three auctions, highlighting several private collections. The highest bid of the sessions, Rembrandt Bugatti's bronze sculpture, Cerf bramant suivi par une biche et son faon (1903), set a world record for a deer by the artist sold at auction, fetching €1.1M. 

A defining feature of these June sales was the dispersal of exceptional private collections, such as that of dealer and publisher Christophe Czwiklitzer, which fetched €1.4M with two pre-emptions from the Musée Zadkine, and the group of works from the Villa Vandevelde in Uccle, Belgium, which sold for €2.2M. 

Another highlight of this week of sales was Shirley Jaffe's La Basilique, which delighted collectors by setting a new world record for the artist at €328,000.

The Twenty One Contemporary Sale also attracted a great deal of interest, both live and online.

The work of Guillaume Bresson, a young talent on the French emerging scene, achieved a very fine result of €104,960, as did Wild style letter R - 1990 by Rammellzee, a major figure in New York graffiti, which sold for €78,720.
