At the end of November, 2017, Artcurial acquired the John Taylor Group from the Pastor family. Artcurial said at the time that it shared the same client base with one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious real estate companies, namely High Net Worth Individuals.
The French auction house and John Taylor had previously been linked thorough a strategic partnership. Nicolas Orlowski became CEO of the John Taylor Group, replacing Delphine Pastor.
