Modern paintings & drawings

AUDAP & Associés, assisted by its experts, organizes auctions dedicated to Modern & Contemporary artists several times a year.

Drawings, prints and paintings fascinate amateurs and collectors, eager to acquire works created by these masters from impressionism, the avant-gardes and contemporary schools. Among them, let us cite Henri MATISSE, Pablo PICASSO, Wassily KANDINSKY, Pierre SOULAGE, Zao WOU-KI, who marked their era and influenced new generations.

Auctions are also an opportunity to highlight certain artists, during workshop sales, such as the one dedicated to Jean-Louis PAGUENAUD (1876-1952), painter of the Air and the Navy on April 17, 2023. The enthusiasm aroused by the captivating world of the painter-traveler seduced bidders, giving rise to the three highest bids ever obtained for this artist, notably a formidable Paysage indochinois (triptych), sold for €72.128.
