Ways of Seeing Abstraction

ONLINE CATALOGUE
(can be seen from 9 April 2025)

9 – 24 April 2025
The first lot expires at 6 pm.

The ‘Ways of Seeing Abstraction’ auction focuses on works of modern and contemporary art whose pictorial content detaches itself from the object-centredness of earlier centuries. By distancing themselves from and renouncing the representational, the artists achieve a detachment from a naturalistic, reality-based depiction. Only shapes, colours, lines and contrasts are declared to be the content of the picture. The aim is alienation to the point of unrecognisability. Absolute painting, as abstract painting is sometimes called, allows the artist greater freedom in the expression of his inner self and represents a form of expression far removed from guidelines and motifs. The origins of abstraction lie in the first decade of the 20th century. Even today, abstraction is an important means of expression for contemporary artists. In the online auction, 130 lots will be up for bid, the variance of which reveals, as it were, the variety of ways in which artists of the 20th and 21st centuries have dealt with abstraction.
