Gérard Depardieu's Art Collection Fetches $4.2 Million at Paris Auction
Gérard Depardieu's art collection, consisting of over 230 pieces including sculptures by Rodin, was sold for $4.2 million at a two-day Paris auction. The collection, which skewed towards postwar abstraction and contemporary art, attracted large crowds and featured notable works by artists such as Alexander Calder and Auguste Rodin. Depardieu, who has faced allegations of sexual misconduct, decided at the last minute not to sell a prominent bronze sculpture. The sale marks a new chapter for the actor, who expressed a desire to move on from his collection.
