M. de Proyart says his decision to leave Sotheby’s is not influenced by the resignation of Princess Laure de Beauvau Craon (his aunt) as president of Sotheby’s France in 2003.
Proyart to go
JEAN-BAPTISTE de Proyart, vice president of Sotheby’s France, is to leave the company this summer to work as an independent art advisor in books and manuscripts, based in Paris. He joined Sotheby’s in 1993 and, as head of books and manuscripts in France, organised several sales since the firm were allowed to sell in Paris in 2001.
