In 2023, Artcurial is expanding its business into Switzerland with the acquisition of the Swiss auction house Beurret Bailly Widmer Auktionen, which becomes Artcurial Beurret Bailly Widmer.
Founded in 2011 in Basel by Nicolas Beurret and Emmanuel Bailly, and later joined by Markus Schöb of Galerie Widmer, the auction house is also located in Zurich and St Gallen. It specialises in the sale of primarily modern and contemporary art and is now one of the most renowned auction houses in Switzerland.
Artcurial Beurret Bailly Widmer holds three physical sales and several digital sales each year, notably in parallel with the Art Basel fair.
As part of this merger with Artcurial, the auction house is preparing several development projects over the next two years in Switzerland.
