It’s auction time in Monaco and this summer, Accademia Fine Art will be organising two events at the Hôtel Metropole with a vast selection of beautiful pieces.
Accademia Fine Art has joined forces with Drouot Digital Live, Lot-tissimo and Invaluable for a summer auction coming up on 6^th August.
All in all, 230 pieces will go under the gavel including beautiful furnishings, one-of-a-kind objets d’art, letters, manuscripts and modern and classical art pieces from private collections. These sought-after items will all be up for grabs starting at 4:30pm at the Hôtel Metropole.
All pieces will be available for viewing at the hotel from 31^st July from 10am to 7pm until the day of the auction so the actual condition can be determined.

Some stand out pieces include a ‘mixed media’ piece by Spanish contemporary painter and sculptor Manolo Valdes, a Serge Poliakoff painting, a pair of Sevres painted porcelain cups with lids from 1769, and ‘The feast of St. George’ by Jan I Brueghel Dit Brueghel De Velours (Bruxelles 1568 – Antwerp 1625), a rare oil on panel from the Emil Georg Bührle Collection dated between 1585 and 1586 and valued at between 550.000 and 750.000€.
