Nicolas ORLOWSKI, The art & manner

Having orchestrated the merger of Artcurial and John Taylor, Nicolas Orlowski has given birth to a European leader in the intermediation of exceptional goods. The secrets of this discreet businessman? A remarkable agility of mind, real expertise at every level, and attentive support for each of his close collaborators.

What is the link between Artcurial and the John Taylor luxury property group?

"Investment in use and pleasure", answers Nicolas ORLOWSKI at the head of these two institutions of the art of living and luxury. This visionary and multi-specialist entrepreneur is also active in Collector Square, the European leader in the online sale of appraised luxury goods, and in Arqana, an auction house for thoroughbreds and trotters.

"Whether they are looking for a villa on the Riviera, a private hotel in Paris, a Swiss watch, an Hermès bag or a comic book, our clients are looking to enjoy their investment immediately."confides the businessman who is preparing to celebrate in September the 20th anniversary of Artcurial, whose prestigious headquarters are located at 7 Rond-Point des Champs-Elysées Marcel Dassault.

Under his leadership, this Parisian art gallery has metamorphosed in two decades into the most important French auction house for works of art and collectibles, and one of the first in the world. Its DNA? To break new ground: fashion, jewellery, collectible watches, comics, urban art and even metavers through the forthcoming sale of NFTs (digital files with a certificate of authenticity attached).

Regularly organised in Monaco, Paris, Marrakech and sometimes even online, these dynamic sales attract different investor profiles, 72% of whom are international clients. The near future? "I'm not chasing hyper growth. The opening of new John Taylor agencies is planned, we are giving ourselves the means to maintain our dominant position on the C?te d'Azur, to continue our development in Paris, Geneva, Italy, Portugal... To penetrate new markets, and always to share synergies. These bridges created between our different entities stimulate the entrepreneurial spirit, the quest for excellence and animate our rigorous execution on the ground."
