26 paintings with a total value of 165.5 thousand lei were sold at the second auction of young artists in Artcor
The Young Artist Auction program is a platform that helps young artists to exhibit their works and gives a real chance to see how their works are evaluated and sold. In the 2024 edition, out of 222 works by 99 artists who applied to participate in the auction, an international jury selected 57 of the best works by 50 artists, including paintings, sculptures, tapestries and photographs, each with a unique message. As a result, 26 works were sold for 165.5 thousand lei. The most expensive painting cost 18,001 lei at the auction. It is worth mentioning that the participants of the auction made bids by means of QR codes, which facilitated the access to the purchase of works of art and made this process more modern and innovative. In the first edition of the auction, which took place in 2023, out of 242 registered works, 32 were offered for sale and 20 were sold - the artists earned more than 100 thousand lei. This year's Young Artist Auction program also included a series of events that provided invaluable opportunities for professional development of creative people, including a lecture by German photographer Volker Kreidler on the theme “1000 photographers, but the art market needs only 10”. The auction, the exhibition of works and related events and initiatives are realized by Artcor Center with the support of the “Future Technologies Activity” (FTA) project, financed by USAID, Sweden and Great Britain, as well as by Moldcell Foundation. // 12.12.2024 – InfoMarket
