On September 18, the 64th Ukrainian Collectible Art auction starts

17 September , 2024  

On September 18, 2024, the 64th auction of Ukrainian Collectible Art will start at Goldens auction house. The selection represents works by Ukrainian artists of different time periods – from the late nineteenth century to the late twentieth century – and brings together rare works by masters whose work has become an integral part of the cultural heritage of Ukraine and Europe.

In total, the auction features over 40 lots – a unique collection of collectible works by artists of various art schools and movements. It is important to note that many of the works presented have been published in books and albums, and some of them have been exhibited in group or solo exhibitions, which certainly adds to the collection’s value. The auction exhibition and silent auction “Ukrainian Collectible Art” will start its work on September 18. The exhibition will be open until September 26 inclusive. Bids for the lots are accepted in the silent auction mode in the exhibition hall and on the website www.gs-art.com in the catalog section of the 64th auction. The final bidding of the auction will take place on September 26 (Thursday) throughout the day, and at 19:00 on September 26, bidding for the lots will be completed by step closing of the lots at the last current bid.

Among the prominent names of the Kyiv school, the auction will feature works by Anatolii Turovskyi, Mariia Prymachenko, Mykola Hlushchenko, and the Sixties artists Alla Horska and Viktor Zaretskyi. Anatolii Turovskyi’s works rarely appear on the art market and are always of interest to collectors. The names of Mariia Prymachenko, Mykola Hlushchenko, Alla Horska and Viktor Zaretskyi are among the pantheon of artists whose works add weight to any collection. The auction will feature a graphic work by Alla Horska from 1960 and a painting by Viktor Zaretskyi from 1986-1990, which is one of the highlights of the collection. In his “Date”, his unique style is most vividly expressed: a combination of modernism and Ukrainian national tradition, the dominance of drama and exquisite decorative elements.

“Spring” by Mykola Glushchenko is another top lot in the collection, a work from the 1970s, one of the most significant periods in the artist’s oeuvre, marked by vivid color and expressive brushstrokes. Collector interest in Glushchenko’s works is growing due to his unique style, which combines European influence with a deep national identity. Paintings from this period are often highly valued at auctions, as they demonstrate the mature stage of the artist’s work.

This time, the art of the first half of the twentieth century is represented by a wide selection of names of École de Paris and emigrant artists: Isaac Pailes, Mykola Isaiev, Borys Pastukhov, Mykola Krychevskyi, Vasyl Khmeliuk, Yakov Shapiro, Michel Korochansky, Mani Mavro, David Burliuk, and Ivan Babii.

The Transcarpathian School of Painting is represented by works by Andrii Kotska, Adalbert Erdeli, Fedir Manailo, Yosyp Bokshai, Havrylo Hluk, Adalbert Boretskyi, Ferenc Seman, and Yelyzaveta Kremnytska. Rare works by the artists clearly demonstrate the influence of modern and post-impressionist trends in Western European painting in the Ukrainian context and perception.

The auction selection is also diversified with paintings from the Crimean and Odesa schools of painting – works by Fedir Zakharov, Valentina Tsvetkova, Yuriy Yegorov, – Kharkiv school – Viktor Zarubin, and Lviv school – works by Oleh Minko and Liubomyr Medvid.

The top lots of the auction were the aforementioned works by Mykola Hlushchenko and Viktor Zaretskyi, as well as a French landscape by Adalbert Erdeli from the 1930s, “Girl with a Ball” from 1989 by the first-row artist of the Odesa school of painting Yurii Yegorov, the famous still life “Dedication to V. Mayakovsky” of the 1950s by David Burliuk, a painting ‘Swaying Branches in the Cherry Orchard’ by Ivan Marchuk in 2000 from the Star Trek series, a rare narrative work ‘Blue Beard’ by Ferenc Seman in 1993, and works by authors whose works are rarely seen on sale – Leonid Chichkan and Ivan Babiy.
