On September 10, 2024, Alexandra was awarded the Artist Value Certificate in the international database “AKOUN” and was also praised by Mr. Jacques-Armand Akoun, an international art expert, as a young talented artist.
Jacques-Armand Akoun has been an art dealer since 1973. He was born in Paris in 1947 and more specifically near the Place du Tertre in Montmartre, a place loved by the great painters of the nineteenth century. At eight he met Utrillo. At eleven he learned a lot along with Desnos. At fifteen he sympathizes with Heuzé (JA Akoun is now the expert of these two artists). Victor Brauner at 72 Bis Rue Lepic encourages him in this art life. On the advice of Camoin he tried to paint and sells poulbots in tourists places. He attended Csaky, Gen Paul, Moretti, Lagage, Naly, Oguiss, Quellier, Rouault, Sjogren, Zingaro, Dubuc, Dupuy, Lourenço, Bonas, Delval…
He became passionate at antique markets and auction houses before becoming himself a merchant and expert at Drouot auction houses .
It is primarily for professional use that he started to list auctions results and aggregate average prices. J-A Akoun then changed direction to pursue a career in publishing. His publication “La Cote des peintres”, a reference book containing sales results and average prices was first released in 1985 and proved immediately a successful bestseller.
J-A Akoun has been ever since working on collecting sales data, evaluating and certifying artists values, they are published on his famous reference books and several websites on the internet.
