Bonhams is delighted to confirm that a swift post auction sale of the 1938 Bugatti Type 57 has brought the 5 September Chantilly Sale to a total €8,545,825.
The rare, elegant two/three-seater model was once owned by famous French artist, and known Bugatti enthusiast, André Derain.
Best known as a member of the Fauvist group of painters, André Derain (1880-1954) was one of Bugatti's best customers and an aficionado of fine sporting cars. He is said to have owned around 14 Bugattis, the Type 57 offered being his last. As the choice of an artist who selected only the very best Bugattis for his collection of mechanical artworks, the Type 57 is highly desirable.
