ABOUT TAJAN



Each year, TAJAN organizes over sixty live auctions in many specialties as well as our prestigious yearly sales in Monte-Carlo, offering unique opportunities to art lovers.
The exceptional quality of artworks shown, the record prices, the number of valuations conducted in France and abroad, and our ever-expanding international clientele place Tajan in a leading position within the auction market.
Notwithstanding our increasingly international outlook and standards with respect to operations and clientele, we distinguish ourselves from our competitors by providing a highly personalized service, giving great attention to detail and remaining faithful to our tradition as a French auction house.
We are also proud to defend and strengthen the Paris art market through high level cultural and thematic events connecting the major representatives of the global market: artists, collectors, art dealers, journalists and museum curators. Some of the cultural events we have organized:

- “The Artist and his supporters” and “Art & Design without boundaries” promoted the young international creation.
- “Origins of Modernism” mingled together representative pieces of furniture, paintings and sculptures, particularly highlighting the Secession and the Arts & Crafts movements.
- “Romanian Art Today” offered an overview of the emerging contemporary Romanian creation.
- In 2007, and again in 2009,“Work in progress” featured exceptional works never publicly exhibited before by leading French artist François Rouan.

TAJAN is an auction house that holds at least one sale per week in one of over twenty specialties. Our expertise enables us to organize sales of entire collections as well as thematic sales.
