Proceeds from the sale of<br />
Jacques Germain’s studio in<br />
Paris on 15 October last went to<br />
the Ligue nationale française<br />
contre le cancer (The French<br />
National League against<br />
Cancer). A roaring success, the<br />
auction consisted of 675 items<br />
divided into 200 lots, which all<br />
found a bidder for a total of<br />
€373,941 (Mathias, Baron -<br />
Ribeyre & Associés, Farrando -<br />
Lemoine auction house / Mr.<br />
Chanoit). A world record for the<br />
artist was even obtained at<br />
€68,156 for a 1957 oil on canvas,<br />
"G 57 - Juin-24". The 21 oil paintings<br />
up for auction totalled<br />
€247,840. It is worth noting that<br />
Jacques Germain is one of the<br />
figures of the Lyrical Abstraction<br />
movement alongside<br />
Georges Mathieu and his group.<br />
