The sale will also include a collection of ten drawings that have remained within the family of collector Maurice Gobin to this day. 

On Thursday, March 20th, Artcurial will auction the second part of the Jean Bourdel Library (1890-1971), in collaboration with experts Emmanuel Lhermitte and Philippine de Sailly. Preserved by the Bourdel family for nearly a century, this collection is one of the most remarkable 20th-century assemblages dedicated to Gothic prints in French, as well as to poets and writers of the 16th century.

On March 21st, Artcurial will hold an auction in partnership with the Vasarely Foundation, under the patronage of Jean Dominique Senard. Held in Aix-en-Provence at the Foundation, this event will highlight the visionary work of Victor Vasarely as well as those of contemporary artists who are passionate about optical and kinetic art. All the funds raised will be dedicated to the scientific and cultural project of the institution, as well as to the restoration of its monumental works.

On April 30th, Artcurial will present a prestigious auction dedicated to an important collection of Old Masters and 19th-century paintings: Entre Ciel & Terre: Masterpieces from a French Collection.
