In addition to providing his skills to professionals and individuals, Jean is also the main Asian art expert for the Millon auction house in Paris, organizing quarterly sales and providing his expertise to clients.
Each year, Jean Gauchet publishes a catalog which presents his personal works as well as those entrusted to him.
