When a work is presented for sale, buyers pay close attention to its provenance and 'academic' background.
This is why a work accompanied by a bibliography or exhibition presentation can increase in value by between 5 and 20%.
MILLON Auction House can help you enrich the pedigree of your paintings, sculptures or objets d'Art. We are in regular contact with museum institutions in France and around the world. Nearly 60 pre-emptions have been made by French institutions over the last 18 months at auctions organised by MILLION
Our experts in 29 specialities and art departments are frequently contacted by museums and foundations wishing to borrow works from private individuals for exhibition. This demand is all the greater for objects or paintings that have never been exhibited before and of which institutions have no knowledge.
We are also contacted by publishers, editors of catalogues raisonnés and students preparing their theses.
As an auctioneer, we guarantee confidentiality between lenders and borrowers, and we are delighted to be able to offer this service to our buyers and sellers.
To find out whether a museum, foundation, publisher or researcher is looking for the work you own, contact us at expertise@millon.com or get in touch with the head of the relevant specialist department:
