Josephine Wanecq
Specialist, Head of Evening Sale | Post-War & Contemporary Art
After an Art Business Management master degree at Paris Dauphine University, Josephine first joined Christie’s Paris Post War & Contemporary art team in 2016 as a cataloguer and contributed to the great success of Claude Berri Collection sale (October 2016), achieving €8,320,125.
From 2017, Josephine started overseeing cataloguing for both Paris and Milan PWC sales. Among many other sales, she was also involved in the cataloguing, exhibition setting and success of the Jean-François and Marie-Aline Prat Collection sale in 2017, which until now still holds the auction record for a private Post War and Contemporary art collection ever sold in France (€39m).
In 2019, she was appointed Junior Specialist, and more recently Josephine has taken on the role of Head of Day sale. In her position, she is responsible for business getting and managing all aspects of the sale: pricing, curating and overseeing cataloguing.
