A bronze sculpture by Camille Claudel, L'Age Mûr, discovered in an abandoned Paris apartment, was sold for €3.7m, exceeding expectations by over 50%. The work symbolizes a complex interplay of life experiences, reflecting Claudel's emotional turmoil following her breakup with Auguste Rodin. It features a poignant scene of a man between two women, possibly representing Claudel, Rodin's wife, and her struggle. This sale marked one of the highest for Claudel, illustrating both the market value of her work and its significant historical context within the art world.
The bidding war for Camille Claudel's L'Age Mûr culminated in a record-breaking sale of €3.7m, reflecting both the sculpture's rarity and its deep personal allegory.
L'Age Mûr, found in an abandoned Paris apartment, represents a pivotal moment in Claudel's life, allegorically dual between love and despair linked to Rodin.
