December has been marked in the calendar of collectors, art lovers and the experts for over a decade as the month of the New Year’s ARTE Gallery Auction. Belgrade’s gallery will finish the year with it’s 13th exhibition that will provide an overview of the most relevant artistic aspirations of the 20th century, as well as an auction that will take place on Tuesday, December 22nd on https://aukcije.arte.rs/ platform.
The art market has undergone numerous changes due to the Covid 19 pandemic. Adapting to the “new reality” meant moving a large amount of content to online platforms. Enjoying the reputation of the leader in the auction of works of art in the Balkans, ARTE has adapted to the new model by organizing the first online auction of works of art in Serbia in June 2020. With the transition to the virtual world of online communication and sales, we have overcome the limitations of travelling, health risks and met the need to enjoy works of art. In the online sphere, we had the opportunity to share our activities and artistic achievements of our painters and sculptors with a wider audience, while new connections, international acquaintances and interest indicated that online sales will take a more significant place in the future.
For these reasons, this December we will hold an online auction as well, where those who are interested will be able to bid for a period of two weeks – 24 hours a day from almost anywhere in the world. To participate in our online auction, you need to register on our website: https://aukcije.arte.rs/, where you can get all the information about participating in the auction, also for all additional information and explanations feel free to contact us via email info@arte.rs or phone +381 65 9 199 109
All of the items are available for viewing during our pre-auction exhibition in the premises of the ARTE gallery in Belgrade (3 Kralja Milana, 12 Andrićev venac). If you are unable to make a visit, you can request condition reports and photos for all of the works that interest you.
This year’s auction will be marked by names such as Mladen Josić, Jovan Bijelić, Petar Lubarda, Marko Čelebonović, Milan Konjović, Milo Milunović, Ivan Tabaković, Mića Popović, Petar Omčikus and others whose works represent the most significant achievements in art history in this area. The ARTE gallery also pays close attention to well known names that binded artists of 20th century to groups such as The Ten, The December Group and The Mediala. The dominant tendencies of the aforementioned artistic groups were visualized through the works of Ljubica Cuca Sokić, Nedeljko Gvozdenović, Stojan Ćelić, Leonid Šejka, Dado Đurić, Vladimir Veličković, Ljuba Popović,… One of the segments, both of the exhibition and auction, are the artistic creations of established contemporary authors of recognized artistic sensibility, such as Radomir Damnjanović Damnjan, Predrag Peđa Nešković, Vasa Mihić and others.
The selection of works itself constitutes a heterogeneous group of high art, carefully segmented into thematic and stylistic units. Works of various artistic directions, from academicism and intimism, through expressionism and enformel, as well as works of postmodern poetics, will be presented. The selection of works made for ARTE Gallery’s auction is a kind of chronological overview of the leading trends in 20th century art, while equally giving space to contemporary artistic practices.
