Artcurial to Host a Tintin Art Auction

By Maryann Yin 

Tintin 200 (GalleyCat)Artcurial will be auctioning “The Universe of the Creator of Tintin” collection. These items once belonged to the French singer, Renaud.

The auction pieces include photographs, lithographs, and posters. The sale date has been scheduled for April 30.

Here’s more from the press release: “Renaud began his collection with ‘modern’ albums before discovering more ancient works at a Belgian bookstore. He decided to start collecting and gathered around 30 albums, key works from his childhood (Alix, Jerry Spring, Blake et Mortimer, Lucky Luke, and of course some Tintin and Spirou) but he soon became hooked on French-Belgium Comic Strips and in his own words, ‘I was a novice, I bought anything, in any old state and at any old price!'”
