Artcurial Motorcars has firmly established itself as the undisputed leader in its field in continental Europe. The department has repeatedly orchestrated the sale of exceptional collections, leaving a lasting mark on the history of the collector car market.
In 2015, the sale of the Roger Baillon collection caused a genuine media sensation on an international scale. This legendary auction unveiled the famous “sleeping beauties,” including the Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider, which sold for €16.4 million. A year later, during the 2016 Rétromobile show, Artcurial Motorcars set a new world record by selling the Ferrari 335 Sport Scaglietti from the Pierre Bardinon collection for €32 million, a historic high for a car sold at auction.
With a clear focus on the new generation of collectors, Artcurial Motorcars adapts to market trends. The sale of the Étienne Léandri Collection is a testament to this commitment, featuring several world records, including the 1996 Ferrari F50, which sold for over €4.2 million at Rétromobile 2022.
Artcurial Motorcars was established in 2010, building on the historical legacy of the house’s Automobiles department, then led by auctioneer and racing driver Maître Hervé Poulain. The addition of a new team, led by Matthieu Lamoure and joined by Pierre Novikoff, specialist, and deputy director since 2016, revitalized the department by giving it an international scope and organizing auctions at key events such as the Rétromobile Show and Le Mans Classic.
Over the years, Artcurial Motorcars has expanded its team with the addition of Antoine Mahé, senior specialist; Anne-Claire Mandine, auctioneer, and head of client relations; Sandra Fournet, head of operations and department administration; and Sophie Peyrache, in charge of the Automobilia department.
The same DNA unites the Artcurial Motorcars team: a passion for automobiles, deep market knowledge, rigorous expertise, trust, and close relationships with clients. The “drive-through” auctions are staged as true spectacles, offering enthusiasts and collectors unforgettable experiences.
