The RITZ PARIS AUCTION preview was over 2 weeks ago at ARTCURIAL, Rond Point, Champs-Elysées. I thought there would be long lines. Instead it was me and the TV crews.
The rooms were designed and sketched by decorator, Vincent Darré. He's standing in La Suite Windsor.
I took so many pictures of the Ritz 'Marthe' pattern china (they changed the color from green to blue with new renovation). Its available in their hotel boutique. I thought I would be painting this.
How did the auction go? It was a grand success.
Almost 9 million dollars earned.
7 times the estimation.
13,000 visiters during the 4-day viewing.
5 days of sales.
3,500 lots of 10,000 objects dispursed.
100% sold.
60% sold to foreigners in 53 countries.
50% sold through the internet.
The natural light in the Artcurial is simply gorgeous. You feel you’re wafting through the old Ritz.
Vincent Darré's version her bedroom full of red lacquer Chinoiserie.
