Kick off the New Year with an art experience at Daikanyama on the weekend Featuring a focus on the dialogue between modern and contemporary art

SBI Art Auction is pleased to present the “62nd SBI Art Auction|MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART" on Saturday, January 27 and Sunday, January 28, at Daikanyama Hillside Forum. As our first attempt, we will simultaneously hold a preview and auction on the weekend.
In our first sale of 2024, we will introduce fine pieces of modern art to provide a high-quality art experience in the dialogue of creations in the past, present, and future. It includes works by Japanese artists active in the global contemporary art scene, such as KUSAMA Yayoi's mixed media 'VENUS' (2002), and a work on paper by NARA Yoshitomo (1998) featuring a girl with a provocative gaze, a signature motif of the artist. Moreover, the portrait of a girl peeling fruit by the representative Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste RENOIR (1895) demonstrates his exploration of painting expression through vivid colors and soft brushwork. Also featured is a still-life oil painting by Bernard BUFFET (1966), long appreciated in Japan for its rigid black lines and restrained colors that capture the post-World War II zeitgeist.
The auction will be held on January 27 and 28, on the weekend, and some works can be viewed at the same venue even during the auction. An auction catalogue featuring the NARA’s 1998 work on the cover will be distributed for free at the venue. We eagerly await your visit.

SBI Art Auction is pleased to present the "60th SBI Art Auction|LIVE STREAM AUCTION" on Friday, September 15 and Saturday, September 16, 2023.

In this sale, we bring together works by renowned artists from both domestic and international scenes, including "Woman in Burnt Sienna" by Swiss painter Andy DENZLER. DENZLER is known for his multi-layered depictions of figures that straddle the line between Abstract Expressionism and Photorealism. Rendered with expressive brushwork, his compositions are reminiscent of Baroque-era classical paintings translated into modern times. Additionally, works by leading figures in Japanese contemporary art, such as "Untitled" by KYNE and "Sound of the vanishing evil" by KOMATSU Miwa, will be on display. Other highlights include "Snip Girl 1" by SATOH Naritaka, an oil painting by EGAMI Etsu, and a beautifully grained sculpture of COMPANION, the iconic character by KAWS.

SBI Art Auction New video release



On Monday, May 1, 2023, SBI Art Auction will release two videos related to our March 2023 sale “Tokyo Contemporary: Redefined”.

One of our auction’s distinguishing features is its internationality, with overseas buyers accounting for 30% of successful bids. Among those overseas buyers, the presence of Asian customers, who make up 70% of our international sales, is increasing year by year. In our introduction video, our specialist based in Hong Kong introduces several works from our March sale and our company’s initiatives in multiple languages, including information on current trends, to serve not only Asian customers but also all our viewers.

Additionally, we will release a recorded video of the talk session “Let’s check the data! Is Art an asset?” held on March 11, 2023. At the event, Mr. Takei and Ms. Ishii from QUICK Corporation's Innovation Planning Dept. carefully explained the asset value and characteristics of art with the supporting of SBI Art Auction’s transaction data. The talk session was filled with ideas that expand the range of motives and reasons for purchasing art. We hope you will also enjoy the video recording of the event.

SBI Art Auction holds public auctions arranged to present fine works of contemporary art created in and after the twentieth century, as well as modern art, photography, design, and crafts that can adorn and enrich the lives of a wide variety of clients.
The current auction participants include nationals of more than 50 countries*, and we are proud of being Japan's most international auction, since bids by overseas customers amount to about 30% of the title.
We are working to grow and expand the Japanese art market by actively introducing not only the works of artists who symbolize the Japanese art market, but also the works of overseas artists who are rarely exhibited in domestic auctions.
