I was there ... A very interesting (and long !)  auction , with the famous talent of Hervé Poulain (also creator of the Art Cars), who was celebrating his 40 years as an auctioneer !

There was certainly a lot on offer...Do you know why BEX222 did not sell at a much lower estimated price? Can you remember what it bid to?
