Briest - Poulain - F. Tajan are delighted to announce that a follow-up Chandigarh Project II sale will take place on Tuesday 16 February 2010. This second auction will chart a different aspect of the work of Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret in Chandigarh, evoking primarily the project’s origins through archive material that eloquently reflects Le Corbusier’s masterwork.

Although the global art is in the midst of a crisis, Paris appears to be showing remarkable resistance: the number of auction sales and the volume of lots proposed has remained stable compared with 2008. Moreover, for the first quarter of 2009, the French capital posted a better overall revenue figure than either London or New York on the back of the Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint-Laurent sale at the Grand Palais in February.
