## About Christian Astuguevieille

Christian Astuguevieille was a French multidisciplinary artist and designer whose documented practice crossed sculpture, drawing, furniture, jewelry, and perfumery. Authority records identify him as a sculptor, designer, and draftsman born in 1946, while a French biographical source gives Paris as his birthplace and records his death in 2026. His career resists classification through a single conventional medium: designed objects and visual art sit alongside fragrance work. A public biography also associates him with the artistic direction of Comme des Garçons Parfums and collaboration with Rei Kawakubo. For collectors, this breadth matters because his name may appear on materially different objects, from furniture and jewelry to sculpture and works on paper, rather than within one uniform auction category. The collected sources do not assign him to a specific art movement, so his page is best organized around documented disciplines. The evidence is strongest for identity and professional range and thinner for dated works, materials, named series, exhibitions, and subjects.

## Common works and media

Collectors may encounter Astuguevieille through furniture and jewelry, as well as sculpture, drawings, and other works on paper. Perfumery belongs to his wider design career and helps explain his cross-disciplinary identity, but the collected sources do not establish fragrance-related objects as a common auction category. No specific materials, subjects, editions, named series, or production periods are verified here, so those details should not be inferred from the artist's name alone.

## Market and appraisal context

Market research for Christian Astuguevieille should begin by separating furniture, jewelry, sculpture, and drawings, since the collected sources document each as a distinct part of his practice. Comparables are most useful when they belong to the same work category and are supported by public sale records. The supplied Appraisily signal indicates 281 indexed records, but the public artist page was rate-limited during collection and no individual lots, sale dates, estimates, or realized prices were available in this pack. Accordingly, this profile does not infer a typical price, market trend, or category premium. An appraisal should pair the identity evidence presented here with object-specific catalog information and verified comparable lots before reaching a market conclusion.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with auction records and, when available, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots. This profile's identity basis is stronger than its market-detail basis because the collected source pack did not expose individual auction records.
