Eduard Sabatier met Petrus Wandrey in Hamburg in the mid-1990s. He dealt in antiques, specialised in porcelain, and bought from the artist. His sons Torsten and Frank took the connection further, and it was through them that the collaboration with the Meissen manufactory came about. From 2000, Meissen cut porcelain to Wandrey's designs, the first time the material had been cut there rather than modelled. The manufactory had worked by hand since 1710. Wandrey had proposed the waterjet. Frank Sabatier is the family's porcelain specialist, representing the firm's partnership with Meissen.

On 2 January 2002, Petrus Wandrey appointed The Sabatier Art Gallery as his gallerist in writing. Torsten Sabatier knew him and worked with him until his death. He organised the exhibition at the Rotes Kreuz Hospital in Bremen in the same year, and an exhibition in their Gallery rooms in 2006. In that year, he secured the commission for Nano-Tech-Med, installed in the entrance hall of Ethicon Endo-Surgery Deutschland, part of Johnson & Johnson, in Norderstedt. The family took over the estate on the artist's death in 2012.

Torsten Sabatier answers questions of attribution, condition and provenance, in consultation with Ute Janssen, the artist's widow. Since 2012, the estate has placed the work in two retrospectives, at the Zitadelle Spandau in Berlin in 2014 and at the Museum Biegas in Warsaw in 2018. Simon Sabatier, the third generation, maintains the archive and is preparing the catalogue of works. David Galloway's monograph from 1999 remains the fullest account of the oeuvre until the year of its publication. The final years of work that followed it, and the exhibitions since, are documented here.
