Artist's rating and value Paul Paulin      

The artist Paul Paulin left in his wake a very singular body of work, made up of many busts. A talented sculptor, he produced numerous sculptures that were particularly prized at auction. Prices for his works are now skyrocketing under auctioneers' hammers. They are particularly prized by French and European buyers. The price at which they sell on the art market ranges from €80 to €52,000, a considerable delta but one that speaks volumes about the value that can be attributed to Paulin's works. A bronze sculpture, Portrait d'Edgar Degas à 72 ans, dating from 1907, sold for €32,000, against an estimate of €15,000 to €18,000.

Order of value from a simple work to the most prestigious

Paul Paulin's style and technique          

Paul Paulin mastered traditional bronze and plaster sculpting techniques to produce a large number of sculptures in the Impressionist style, which make up the majority of his work.  

Paul Paulin, his life and work

Cirgue Paul Jalicon (1852-1937) or Paul Paulin, French sculptor, became an important figure in Impressionist sculpture in the 19th century.

Originally from Chamalières, he soon moved to Paris where he studied dentistry. His career took off, but he was unable to do what he really loved.

In 1881, he began sculpting and painting. Two years later, he met Edgar Degas, who spurred him on to continue creating (Paulin's busts of Pierre Paulin are his most highly-rated works on the auction market today).

He exhibited his work at the Salon des Artistes français, and quickly made a name for himself. He then met the greatest artists of his time: Rodin, Pissarro, Monet... with whom he became friends and whose busts he created.

Aged 85, he died in Neuilly in 1937.

Paul Paulin's imprint on his period

Some of Paul Paulin's works can be seen in various cities in Europe and France, including Orsay, but relatively few: most of his work is in private collections. He leaves a legacy in the history of 19th-century art and sculpture.

Recognizing the artist's signature
