Présentation de l'ouvrage « Vivre les enchères »

Join the Fondation Maison des Sciences de l'Homme for an evening exploring the world of auctions through the lens of ethnology. The event features author Pia Torregrossa in conversation with journalist Jean-Marie Durand, delving into the dynamics of art and collectible auctions.

Attendees will gain insight into the emotional and rational forces at play during sales, where items can sell for eighteen times their estimate or fail to find a buyer. The discussion covers the roles of buyers, sellers, and professionals, offering a behind-the-scenes look at this captivating arena.

Following the dialogue, there will be an opportunity to ask questions. This event is part of the "Livres en dialogue" series and is free, with reservation recommended.
