From June 14 to 17, Christie’s was selling Hubert de Givenchy’s personal collection, estimated at nearly 50 million euros, but the auction finally reached 114 million euros, more than double.
The auction house Christie’s sold last week nearly 800 lots from the personal collection of designer Hubert de Givenchy. Between furniture and classical and modern works of art, the sale totaled 114 million euros.
Buyers from all over the world participated in the auction, with 57% coming from Europe and the Middle East, 30% from the American continent, and 12% from Asia.
Part of the auction took place at the Marigny Theater and exceeded the organizers’ expectations. A mahogany desk by David Roentgen fetched over 2 million euros, quadrupling its low estimate.
