About André Brasilier
André Brasilier is a French painter, watercolorist, graphic artist, and ceramicist born on October 29, 1929, in Saumur, in the Anjou region of France. He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he received the Prix Florence Blumenthal in 1952. The following year he was awarded the Prix de Rome for painting, and in 1954 he earned the Premier Grand Prix de Rome. Over a career spanning more than six decades, Brasilier has been active primarily in Paris. His work encompasses oil painting, watercolor, printmaking, and ceramics, often featuring lyrical compositions with women, flowers, horses, and landscapes. With over one thousand works documented at auction, Brasilier is a well-represented artist in the international secondary market, and his paintings are sought by collectors of modern and contemporary French art.

Common works and media
Common works include oil paintings on canvas and panel, watercolors, lithographs and other graphic prints, and ceramics. Frequent subjects include women with flowers, horses and equestrian scenes, musical and orchestral themes, and landscapes. Brasilier's compositions blend figurative elements with lyrical, semi-abstract backgrounds in a distinctive palette of blues, warm earth tones, and soft whites.
Market and appraisal context
André Brasilier maintains a deep, liquid international auction market with 450 recorded lots, 317 of which carry realized prices spanning from 2002 to April 2026. His work trades regularly through major houses including Christie's, Sotheby's, Bonhams, Artcurial, and Aguttes, with recent results at Christie's Hong Kong reaching 1,397,000 HKD (approximately €160,000) for a large oil on canvas, and Christie's Paris achieving €152,400 for an equestrian oil. The price distribution is wide: the 25th percentile sits at €2,600, the median at €18,750, and the 75th percentile at €47,500, with a ceiling of €4,600,000 for top-tier paintings. Prints and ceramics trade at the lower end (€40–€700), while signed oil paintings on canvas account for the upper range. Liquidity remains healthy, with 15 lots offered in the most recent 12-month period and 25 in the prior 12 months, indicating sustained but slightly softening throughput. The market is concentrated in France and Hong Kong, with additional presence in Germany, Switzerland, Monaco, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Value drivers
- Medium and support: oil on canvas commands premiums over works on paper and prints
- Subject matter: figurative compositions with women, flowers, and musical themes are widely recognized
- Size and scale: larger-format paintings tend to attract stronger demand
- Provenance and exhibition history: documented gallery provenance adds value
- Condition and authenticity: verification through the artist's committee (noted on official site) may support attribution
- Medium: oil on canvas commands the highest prices; ceramics, prints, and works on paper trade at substantially lower levels
Appraisal caveats
- With over 1,100 auction records, Brasilier's market is well established but broad; wide range of prices across media and periods.
- Attribution should be supported by provenance documentation or committee verification where available.
- The VIAF record includes a conflicting death date of 2004 from one source, but RKD notes possible activity as late as 2017. Verify living/deceased status before making biographical claims.
- The 450-lot dataset includes 133 unsold or un-priced lots, meaning roughly 30% of offerings did not result in a published realized price; buy-in rates should be considered when estimating liquidity.
