Within the contemporary art scene, urban art is one of the most dynamic emerging sectors of the market. Under the initiative of Arnaud Oliveux and Karine Castagna, Artcurial has become one of the pioneering auction houses in this speciality, organising its first sales in 2006.

Orchestrated around historic American artworks from the 1990s as well as renowned artists such as Os Gemeos, José Parla, Vhils and Swoon, these auction sessions offer a comprehensive look at urban creation.

Combined with the diversity of the artworks on offer, the expertise of the specialists has enabled the house to achieve remarkable results, such as the world record for Futura 2000’s Stupid, which was sold for €104,000, Banksy’s Rodeo Girl, which was sold for €379,500, Kaws’ spectacular Final Days, which was sold for €985,000, and Invader’s Rubik Space, which went for €492,600.

The department’s international reputation is also illustrated by the sale of private collections. The Don’t Believe the Hype and Outsider(s): A History of Beautiful Losers auctions in 2019 and the Roméo Sarfati Collection in 2022 attracted street culture enthusiasts from all over the world.

Artcurial’s specialists are at your disposal for free and confidential valuations of your objects and works of urban art.
