Following the success of the previous editions, Artcurial’s Monaco Auction Week returns to the Principality this summer and invites you to the Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo from July 4th to 8th.
Five prestigious auctions will be held: Important Watches, Le Temps est Féminin (Ladies’ Watches), Jewellery, Monaco Sculptures and Hermès & Luxury Bags, featuring exceptional pieces.
Kept out of public view for more than sixty years in Kees van Dongen’s studio, the portrait of Brigitte Bardot painted in 1959 reappears today. This large-format oil on canvas (130 x 97 cm), set against a yellow background of an intensity characteristic of the artist’s palette, comes directly from his estate.
Estimated at €800,000 - 1,200,000, this work by van Dongen will be one of the highlights of the Selected 20/21 auction organised by Artcurial on October 24th, 2026, alongside Art Basel Paris.
On October 24th, 2026, during Art Basel Paris, Artcurial will auction Louis Grandchamp des Raux's collection, La Modernité en partage, a testament to a discerning yet sensitive eye, shaped over twenty years of passionate collecting.
This September in Paris, Artcurial will present the African and Oceanic art collection assembled by Belgian collector Jean-Jacques Rotthier from the 1970s onwards. Comprising major Songye, Kuyu, Luba and Djenné works, this exceptional ensemble will be revealed in its entirety for the first time during Parcours des Mondes.
True to its spirit of innovation and its constant attention to developments in the art market, Artcurial is organising its first auction devoted entirely to ceramics. Entitled Earth & Fire: Ceramics, the sale will take place on October 23rd, during Ceramic Art Fair + Glass and Art Basel Paris.
