On December 30, 2026, Artcurial is set to present a fresh edition of A Moroccan Winter at La Mamounia in Marrakech. This year's gathering is especially noteworthy as it coincides with the 15th Majorelle & his Contemporaries auction. The first part will spotlight Jacques Majorelle, displaying around twenty of his pieces along with works from José Cruz-Herrera and Bernard Boutet de Monvel. It will also feature 19th-century Orientalist art from artists such as Frederick Arthur Bridgman and Eugène Girardet, notably showcasing a depiction of Constantinople. The second part, Moroccan & African Spirit, will present a wider selection of Moroccan and African art, highlighting creators like Chaïbia Talal and Baya. The event will be held at its usual location, which has hosted it before.
