Artcurial doubles: another top European auction

Comparing this year’s Artcurial sale with the one held in 2021 is like comparing night and day. Many things have changed: the ghost of Covid has been significantly reduced and the sale was conducted over two days, with more cars and a greater focus on the diversity of the cars on offer than on spectacular top lots. And whereas last year the top lot alone counted for 38% of the overall takings, this year the most expensive car contributed just 13%, in line with the 12% registered in 2020 (pre-covid at the time).
