From November 27 to December 7, Goldens auction house will present a pre-auction exhibition of the 65th auction “Ukrainian Collectible Art”, which will present a unique selection of works by prominent Ukrainian artists of the XIX-XX centuries. Among the works presented are many rare and exclusive paintings, the likes of which rarely appear on the art market.
The collected works cover various schools, styles and periods of Ukrainian art. In particular, the collection includes works by Ivan Kurakh, Oleksa Novakivskyi, Ferenc Seman, Oleh Sokolov, Stepan Kolesnikov, Lubomyr Medvid, Viktor Zaretskyi, Adalbert Erdeli, Ivan Marchuk, Woodon Baklytskyi, Roman Selskyi, Ivan Trush, Nikifor Krynytskyi, Ivan Babii, Tytus Dvornikov, and Oleksiy Shovkunenko.
The Lviv School of Art is represented by the names of Ivan Trush, Oleksa Novakivskyi, Oleh Minko, Liubomyr Medvid, Roman Selskyi, Witold Mnastyrskyi, and Volodymyr Patyk. Their works represent the wide range and originality of their regional art school, which is filled with examples of both realistic and impressionistic painting, as well as works enriched with modernist tendencies and experiments with form, color, and texture.
Works by artists of the Transcarpathian school of painting are also marked with a bright color: a composition by Ferenc Seman, landscapes by Yosyp Bokshai and Fedir Manailo, a portrait of a Hutsul woman by Andriy Kotska.
The creative searches of the Crimean school artists represented in the auction selection – Petro Stolyarenko and Valentyna Tsvetkova – are devoted to light and color. Their works reflect the warm and windy mood of the peninsula’s nature.
The works by Kyiv artists are extremely diverse and reflect the general trends of the cosmopolitan city, where completely different colors, forms and trends have fused together. This diversity can be clearly seen in the works of Vasyl Chegodar, Volodymyr Sydoruk, Mykhailo Huyda, and Oleksiy Shovkunenko.
The auction selection also includes works by prominent Odesa artists Oleg Sokolov and Arkady Sambur. Sokolov’s collage is distinguished by its vivid expressiveness and special attention to the play of volumes, while Sambur’s work is characterized by its picturesqueness and impressionistic sensuality.
A separate core of the selection is a block of classical art represented by the names of Stepan Kolesnikov, Yevhen Bukovetsky, Viktor Zarubin, Titus Dvornikov and Mikhail Alisov, a block of art by emigrant artists – Ivan Kurakh, Ivan Babiy, Isaac Pailes, Manet-Katz – as well as naïve art, which includes works by Nikifor Krynytsky, Maria Primachenko and Marfa Timchenko.
The sculpture in this auction is represented by the names of the first-row ceramist Olga Rapai, the prominent Kyiv sculptor Yuriy Ruban and the emigrant artist and sculptor Manet-Katz.
The top lots of the auction selection are rare and unique works that can adorn the collection of any world museum: Ivan Babii’s Chess Player (1920s), Mykola Glushchenko’s Nude with Flowers from the artist’s most prominent period of the 1970s, Viktor Zaretskyi’s By the Lake (1978), and a rare genre composition by Adalbert Erdeli from the 1930s and 1940s, Autumn Landscape by Yosyp Bokshai (1930), Plein Air Landscape by Ivan Marchuk (2006), Large Scale Plot Composition by Mariia Prymachenko (1991), Sweet Pea by Ivan Trush of the 1920s, and a portrait of Countess.
