Claude Nougaro’s painting sold for € 12,000 on Wednesday under the hammer of Jean-Louis Vedovato at the Artcurial Sales Hotel in Toulouse.
It was a nice surprise. Estimated at € 2,500, the pastel “Naked woman” produced in 1957 by the legendary singer-songwriter Claude Nougaro, went to Artcurial at € 12,000 with the hammer and 15,000 with the costs. “We are very happy, assures Jean-Louis Vedoveto, auctioneer. We did not expect it. But in my opinion, it is deserved. It was a very detailed work, sought after with many symbols to decipher. which proves that this artist had a real talent of designer and painter. For this pastel “Naked woman”, the buyer in the room, an amateur from Toulouse, was discreet. “It was a good sale, notes the commissioner- auctioneer. A sale as I like them, intense. Four, five buyers were in theaters and others on the Net. Having reached € 10,000, the auction got harder with a “fight” between fierce people. It was interesting to see “.
