SBI Art Auction is delighted to announce that an annual report to look back the year 2022 will be published on our website.

SBI Art Auction Co., Ltd. celebrated our 10th anniversary last year since we held our first auction in February 2012. We thank to the tremendous support from all of you.
 
We have had more than 50 auctions in the last 10 years, and with the increase in transaction value since our first sale. We have received a lot of interests from both Japan and overseas’ supporters. We publish an annual report for the first time to help to learn about the wonderfulness of art and the fun of the art market.
 
With the motto of "Enriching Your Lives through Art", our mission is to expand the Japanese art industry and to contribute the revitalization and the development of the art market. We hope this annual report will be of some help for you to understand the current status of the contemporary art market in Japan.

■About our auction


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.
*As of April 2022
