Vente Graffiti, Street Art à La Cigale

This rare auction catalogue documents the historic Vente Graffiti Street Art sale held at La Cigale on June 20, 2009. Organised by Millon & Associés alongside Cornette de Saint Cyr, the event marked one of the first major public auctions devoted entirely to graffiti and street art, capturing a moment when urban art was shifting from train yards and alley walls into the international fine art market.

The catalogue itself feels like a snapshot of that cultural turning point, where underground writers and street artists were beginning to enter galleries, auction houses, and serious collections without fully losing their outlaw aura. Packed with works, artist profiles, and archival imagery, it preserves the energy of a scene balancing rebellion and recognition at the exact moment the art world finally realised graffiti culture could no longer be ignored.
