Experience the Power of Art this New Year 2025! A Stunning Collection of Timeless Artworks
SBI Art Auction will hold “The 69th SBI Art Auction | MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART” on Saturday, January 25th and Sunday, January 26th, 2025, at Daikanyama Hillside Forum. This sale will feature a remarkable selection of works by internationally acclaimed masters to emerging artists, offering a fitting start to the new year, 2025.
One of the sale highlights is Small Window by YAMAGUCHI Takeo. This work reflects his pioneering abstract expression and embodies his powerful brushwork and distinctive color sense. KUSAMA Yayoi’s works include an acrylic painting of her iconic pumpkin motif as well as bronzes and glitter silkscreens, will be featured. Meanwhile, another Japanese renowned artist, NARA Yoshimoto’s unique works will be up for the auction. They include a ceramic sculpture, Fire Mountain (No. YNF5387), and a massive set of sixteen prints.
With a focus on international artists, we will feature a print work, Haggadah (P2), by Gerhard RICHTER. This piece represents his distinctive style which blends figuration and abstraction with a deep exploration of light and color and creates beauty within abstract art. Apart from him, there is Red Coat (Cantz 164) by Alex KATZ, whose figurative expression and striking color selection were revolutionary in the 1950s in the United States, where abstract expression was becoming an art trend. This painting’s vivid red color and its dynamic structure bring vibrant energy to the start of the new year. On the other hand, Andy WARHOL’s silkscreen of Franz KAFKA’s portrait will offer refreshing tones of blue with a distinct modern touch. From Asia, artworks by LEE U-fan, particularly his painting of “Dialogue series,” will evoke a strong awareness of blank space and offer a profound three-dimensional presence, embodying a simplicity that is both striking and thought-provoking.
In addition to these iconic figures, this auction will feature works by emerging talents. ROKKAKU Ayako’s Untitled presents a delicate interplay between a girl and flowers against a white background. It offers a refreshing and unique style compared to her vibrant style which fulfills surfaces with multiple colors vividly. The work of TOMOZAWA Kotao, an up-and-coming artist who has garnered attention since her student days, will be presented with her striking piece. The painting depicts red slime covering a face, which could be interpreted as that of a toddler, and creates a contrasting impression.
As the beginning of a new year, we invite you to experience the power of art through these exceptional pieces. The auction will be held over the weekend, and the viewing period will be extended, providing an excellent opportunity for those who may not usually attend to visit. We are committed to providing a platform for art lovers to discover works that resonate with them, and we look forward to welcoming you at the auction and its preview.

SBI藝術拍賣很榮幸為您帶來第69輯SBI藝術拍賣「MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART」,拍賣將於2025年1月25日(星期六)及26日(星期日) 在東京代官山舉行。 2025年首場拍賣匯集了備受國內外關注的藝術大師及新銳藝術家的多樣佳作,為新年揭開一幕充滿藝術魅力的序章。
本次拍賣的亮點之一為抽象繪畫先驅山口長男的作品《小窗》。此作展現了其極具力量感的筆觸與鮮明的色彩感,充分體現作為現代藝術先驅的深厚功底。此外,草間彌生的經典南瓜主題作品,包括原作、青銅雕塑以及絲網版畫亦將隆重亮相。同場更有與草間彌生齊名的奈良美智的陶瓷雕塑作品《火山 (No. YNF5387)》及一組珍罕的16件版畫作品,著實令人期待。
來自海外的精彩作品包括德國現代藝術代表人物Gerhard RICHTER的版畫作品《Haggadah (P2)》。此作巧妙結合具象與抽象元素,深入探索光與色彩,為抽象藝術注入詩意的美感。同時,1950年代美國抽象表現主義盛行之際,以具象表現與大膽用色聞名的Alex KATZ之作《紅色外套 (Cantz 164)》也將登場。此作以紅色的力量和KATZ特有的大膽構圖為特點,其簡約且現代的肖像畫和風景畫為新年的氣氛增添了生動的色彩。此外,Andy WARHOL以小說家Franz KAFKA為題,運用多層次藍色調創造出清新脫俗的視覺體驗。亞洲藝術的代表作品則包括韓國和日本戰後美術的代表性藝術家之一,李禹煥的「對話」系列,此作透過極簡構圖與立體空間感,強烈地讓觀者意識到留白的存在。
新銳年輕藝術家的創作亦是本場拍賣的一大亮點。六角彩子的《無題》描繪了一名少女與花朵於白色背景之上的纖細互動,風格清新淡雅,與她多彩繽紛的典型作品形成鮮明對比。而自學生時代便備受矚目的友澤KOTAO將帶來其標誌性人物作。將幼兒形象與紅色史萊姆相結合,營造出強烈的對比印象,展現出新銳藝術的獨特魅力。
誠邀您在新年的首場拍賣中,與我們一同鑑賞這些極具魅力的藝術作品,感受藝術的無窮力量。本次拍賣將於週末舉行,預展也會相應延長為更多藝術愛好者提供參與機會。SBI藝術拍賣致力為藝術愛好者創造更多與藝術作品相遇的機會,期待與您在拍賣會及預展期間相見!
