John Taylor Luxury Real Estate

About John Taylor Luxury Real Estate

John Taylor was acquired by Michel Pastor. Preserving John Taylor’s remarkable legacy and keeping the flame of family tradition, Michel Pastor, in 2006, appointed his daughter Delphine Pastor as president of the Group. Around 2002, just when the French auction market was opening up to competition, the entrepreneur Nicolas Orlowski bought Artcurial and through his initiatives quickly developed it into the top French auction house specializing in over twenty-five specialties in art and antiques. Artcurial has quickly become one of the leading international players in the art market and has created a partnership with John Taylor in 2013. Taking over from Delphine Pastor who has successfully lead the group for more than 10 years, the Artcurial Group acquired John Taylor in November 2017, enabling it to offer a complete service to its international clientele and to amplify and accelerate the respective synergies of these two successful houses.
