From June 4 to 17, 2026, at the 74th “Ukrainian Collectible Art” auction, the Goldens Auction House will present a selection covering more than a century of the artistic process — from academic painting of the late 19th century to landmark names of contemporary Ukrainian art. The auction catalogue forms a holistic cross-section of the development of the Ukrainian art school, demonstrating the continuity of generations, the diversity of artistic environments and the evolution of plastic language.
The auction selection combines painting, graphics, sculpture and decorative art, emphasizing not only the artistic but also the collectible value of the works. A significant part of the works has an exhibition and publication history, while individual works are rare examples of early or little-known periods in the artists’ creative work.
The Transcarpathian art school at the current auction is represented by works by Adalbert Erdeli, Andriy Kotska and Ferenc Seman — artists who formed the unique coloristic tradition of Transcarpathian painting. The Lviv artistic environment is revealed through works by Roman and Margit Selsky, Henrietta Levytska, associated with modernist searches and the unofficial culture of the second half of the 20th century.
The selection also includes works by Mykola Hlushchenko, Oleksiy Shovkunenko, Tetiana Yablonska, Viktor Malynka, Tetiana Holembiievska — artists whose creative work shaped the intellectual and plastic landscape of Ukrainian art of the 1960s–1980s.
The selection is complemented by works of classics of the late 19th — first half of the 20th century, representing early modernism in Ukrainian art, as well as works by authors who shaped the Ukrainian artistic process in the context of European artistic trends. Among them are works by Joseph Krachkovsky, Oleksandr Haush, David Burliuk, Mané-Katz, Vasyl Khmeliuk.
An important body of the selection also consists of works by artists of “unofficial art”: Ihor Hryhoriev, Viktor Zaretsky, Henrietta Levytska, Anatoliy Lymariev, Margit Selska, as well as artists of the 1990s, the generation of transavant-garde and current art of independent Ukraine: Serafym Charkin, Petro Lebedynets, Volodymyr Makarenko, Eduard Prykhodko, Liudmyla Mieshkova, Vitaliy Buihashev, Oleh Holosiy, Vlada Ralko, Roman Minin.
