SBI Art Auction is pleased to present the "63rd SBI Art Auction|Tokyo Contemporary: Redefined" on Saturday, March 9, 2024, which marks its third edition held at the Tokyo International Forum, taking place simultaneously with "Art Fair Tokyo 2024," Japan's largest international art fair.

Additionally, sculptures by KOJIMA Nobuaki, which incorporate American pop expressions and ironically represent Japanese society during the economic growth period, are part of our carefully selected range of contemporary art.
Artworks can be viewed at the venue adjacent to the sale room on the day of the auction as well. Furthermore, we are running a PR campaign at the Tokyo International Forum's Plaza, where we will distribute original goods, including tote bags perfect for carrying auction catalogues, and drinks for free.

Kick off the New Year with an art experience at Daikanyama on the weekend Featuring a focus on the dialogue between modern and contemporary art

SBI Art Auction is pleased to present the “62nd SBI Art Auction|MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART" on Saturday, January 27 and Sunday, January 28, at Daikanyama Hillside Forum. As our first attempt, we will simultaneously hold a preview and auction on the weekend.
In our first sale of 2024, we will introduce fine pieces of modern art to provide a high-quality art experience in the dialogue of creations in the past, present, and future. It includes works by Japanese artists active in the global contemporary art scene, such as KUSAMA Yayoi's mixed media 'VENUS' (2002), and a work on paper by NARA Yoshitomo (1998) featuring a girl with a provocative gaze, a signature motif of the artist. Moreover, the portrait of a girl peeling fruit by the representative Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste RENOIR (1895) demonstrates his exploration of painting expression through vivid colors and soft brushwork. Also featured is a still-life oil painting by Bernard BUFFET (1966), long appreciated in Japan for its rigid black lines and restrained colors that capture the post-World War II zeitgeist.
The auction will be held on January 27 and 28, on the weekend, and some works can be viewed at the same venue even during the auction. An auction catalogue featuring the NARA’s 1998 work on the cover will be distributed for free at the venue. We eagerly await your visit.

Renowned Artists from Both Domestic and International Scenes Gather: Don't Miss the Early Autumn Live-Streamed Auction!

SBI Art Auction is pleased to present the "60th SBI Art Auction|LIVE STREAM AUCTION" on Friday, September 15 and Saturday, September 16, 2023.

In this sale, we bring together works by renowned artists from both domestic and international scenes, including "Woman in Burnt Sienna" by Swiss painter Andy DENZLER. DENZLER is known for his multi-layered depictions of figures that straddle the line between Abstract Expressionism and Photorealism. Rendered with expressive brushwork, his compositions are reminiscent of Baroque-era classical paintings translated into modern times. Additionally, works by leading figures in Japanese contemporary art, such as "Untitled" by KYNE and "Sound of the vanishing evil" by KOMATSU Miwa, will be on display. Other highlights include "Snip Girl 1" by SATOH Naritaka, an oil painting by EGAMI Etsu, and a beautifully grained sculpture of COMPANION, the iconic character by KAWS.

This sale is not only for those who are familiar with living alongside art but also for those who are looking to step into the world of art purchasing. We look forward to your participation.
