IMPRESSIONIST AND MODERN ART

The impressionist and modern art department organized, under Bruno Jansem's control, twelve sales in Paris but also in Monaco. The results experienced in 2006 by the department confirm the enthusiasm of the market, the excellent position of Tajan amongst the art players, and the interest of the foreign buyers and notably buyers from emerging countries in Paris.

Sales similar to those experienced in the late 1990's occurred for pieces of Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Emile Bernard, Paul Gauguin, Marc Chagall and Kees Van Dongen.
