Olga De Marzio, Director of Artcurial in Monaco, joins NEWS.MC TV to talk about the international art and luxury auction market, and why the Principality has become a serious destination for collectors.

She traces her path from languages and marketing into auction houses, then explains how Artcurial’s Monaco sales specialise in jewellery, watches and handbags. Along the way she covers how prices form in the room, why consignors sometimes need time because of the emotional side of selling, and how the local team’s passion shapes the house’s work here.

Looking ahead, De Marzio also touches on where Artcurial may grow next — including possible new markets — while keeping Monaco at the centre of its luxury offering.
