The December 20th/21st Century Art sales in Paris closed with a combined total of €36M.

Design auction totals €19.4M, doubling its high estimate. Four works by Diego Giacometti from Lady Harrison collection achieved €12.3M, including a world record of €9.5M for the artist. The Shaping Colors Collection, showcasing 250 ceramics by Jacques and Dani Ruelland, generated significant interest.

The Collection Antoine et Simone Veil achieved a total of €3.7M with remarkable bids for works by Zao Wou-Ki and Diego Giacometti. The exhibition drew over 2,000 visitors, confirming the widespread admiration for this couple of collectors.

Later, the white-glove sale Vivre la Couleur: Hommage à Jean Fournier realized an outstanding €9.1M, with 100% of lots sold. Works by Joan Mitchell, Sam Francis, Claude Viallat, and Josef Síma took center stage, celebrating Jean Fournier's pivotal role in championing modern art.

These results were bolstered by the success of the 20th/21st Century Art Online Sale, featuring strong results for Peter Halley, Baya, and Manoucher Yektai.
