PIERRE BERGÉ
FROM ONE HOME TO ANOTHER |
HIGHEST TOTAL FOR ANY SALE OF HOUSE CONTENTS AT SOTHEBY’S FRANCE |
On 30 and 31 October, Sotheby’s Paris Gallery has been the stage for a landmark event in the art market totaling €27,474,328 ($31,268,258) with 100% of lots sold, 95% of lots exceeding their high estimates, 2,500 participants from 72 countries – a record level of participation for Sotheby’s France – from private collectors to great French museums, including the Louvre. |
For four days, Sotheby’s Paris served as a bespoke homage to Bergé’s residences, diligently recreating the unique and effervescent style of each one – travelling from France to Morocco across five galleries and over three floors. |
The exhibition drew in 5,000 visitors, keen to discover and experience the phenomenal collection unveiled in its entirety for the first time. The online auction catalogue for Collection Pierre Bergé: From One Home to Another, together with the individual lot pages, garnered just under 500,000 views from almost 80,000 visitors to the website. |
