SBI Art Auction will hold “The 68th SBI Art Auction | MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART” at Daikanyama Hillside Forum on Friday, October 25th, and Saturday, October 26th, 2024. This auction sale will be our final one of 2024. In anticipation of this sale, we will also have our first overseas auction viewing in Seoul at the beginning of October.
This sale will feature a diverse collection of works surpassing generations or genres and offer you a glimpse into the multilayered nature of art markets. There will be several canvases works of KUSAMA Yayoi’s iconic Pumpkin series and another renown series Infinity Nets. Additionally, a 2m-long work, CONJUNCTION 91 - 23, by a leading figure of Korean monochrome movement, Ha Chong-Hyun, has significant presence and will be up for the auction. The artist is known for his Conjunction series pursuing materiality and achieved a new texture by filtering oil paint through the backside of hemp cloth. It could be fresh in some memories of intense bidding for a work by SEKINE Nobuo in the July sale, we will showcase another his sculpture Pedestal of Sky in this auction. It has a same motif and title with his well-known public art sculpture located in the Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s Park (called Fureai Mall). On the other hand, the auction will also feature works by internationally active artists, such as José PARLÁ, who started his career in street and graffiti culture, and follows the legacy of American abstract expressionism, and Glenn LIGON, who uses diverse mediums to explore themes like American history, literature, and society. Moreover, a silkscreen work Marilyn Monroe (F. & S. Ⅱ.26), by Andy WARHOL. It captures one of his representative motifs and uses vibrant pink hue complementing subtle colors.
We will hold “Early Highlight Viewing in Seoul” from Monday, September 30th to Sunday, October 6th, 2024. Advance registration forms for RSVPs reception on the first day and art tours are available. We look forward to meeting you there. In the meantime, we will also release other information related to our Tokyo preview subsequently, so please keep posted.
