KvS Contemporary art Auction Nr. 3 Auctions from Berlin galleries 8 July 2020 Berlin and studios
Eine Auktion für Berlin
Wir freuen uns, Ihnen mit diesem Katalog eindrucksvolle
Kunstwerke aus Berliner Ateliers und Galerien zu präsentieren!
Berlin ist glücklicher Weise mit Weltklasse-Künstlern so gesegnet,
dass wir mit diesem Format der Galerien-Auktion die etablierten
Grenzen zwischen Primär- und Sekundärmarkt überschreiten.
Dafür möchte ich mich ganz besonders bei den teilnehmenden
Künstler*innen und Galerist*innen bedanken, denn Veränderungen
erfordern immer auch ein wenig Mut.
Ein weiterer, ebenso herzlicher Dank gilt Julia Stoschek. In ihre
Sammlung in der Leipziger Straße dürfen wir Sie zur Vorbesichtigung
und zur Auktion einladen. Danke!
Wir sehen uns also in der Julia Stoschek Collection. Wenn Sie
verhindert sind, können Sie natürlich auch online oder per Telefon
an der Auktion teilnehmen. Bitte registrieren Sie sich dafür möglichst
bald bei uns.
Mit herzlichen Grüßen
Ihr
Kilian von Seldeneck
P.S.: Um den Ankauf von zeitgenössischer Kunst durch die
Nationalgalerie zu beflügeln, werden Galerist*innen und das
Auktionshaus 5 % der Einnahmen an die Stiftung des Vereins der
Freunde der Nationalgalerie für zeitgenössische Kunst spenden.

Vorbesichtigung: Stiftung der Freunde der Nationalgalerie
Vor fast genau fünfzehn Jahren haben die Freunde der Nationalgalerie mit dem
25. Juni – 8. Juli 2020 überraschenden Gewinn aus der MoMA-Ausstellung in Höhe von 6 Mio.€ die
„Stiftung des Vereins der Freunde der Nationalgalerie für zeitgenössische Kunst“
12:00 – 18:00 Uhr gegründet. Mit dieser Stiftung, die den großen Erfolg der MoMA-Ausstellung
dauerhaft bleiben lässt, sollte der Dialog zwischen den Verantwortlichen der
Nationalgalerie und der jungen aktuellen internationalen Kunst intensiviert und
Auktion: die Möglichkeit geschaffen werden, Kunstwerke der Gegenwart zum Zeitpunkt
ihrer Entstehung zu erwerben.
8. Juli 2020 Im ersten Jahr hat die Stiftung allein über 24 Arbeiten erworben, darunter ein
großes Sammlungskonvolut des Künstlers Hans-Peter Feldmann, das durch eine
Empfang ab 18:00 Uhr großzügige Schenkung von Paul Maenz begleitet wurde. Insgesamt wurden in den
vergangenen Jahren 90 Arbeiten von Künstlerinnen und Künstlern erworben,
Auktion um 19:00 Uhr mit denen die Sammlung der Nationalgalerie um wesentliche künstlerische
Positionen und Werke erweitert werden konnte. Darunter Werke von Alfredo Jarr,
Susan Philipsz, Rosa Barba, Roman Ondák, Sergej Jensen, Christoper Williams,
Julia Stoschek Collection Nairy Baghramian oder Nevin Aladag, um nur einige zu nennen. Dazu sind in
den letzten Jahren vermehrt großzügige Schenkungen gekommen, so z. B. „Statue
of Liberty“ von Elgreen & Dragset oder „Three solids, 1993“ von Attila Csörgö.
Leipziger Straße 60 Welche Werke erworben werden, wird von einer unabhängigen, auf jeweils zwei
Jahre gewählten Ankaufskommission entschieden.
(Eingang Jerusalemer Straße) Mit der Gründung der Stiftung und dem im Zweijahresrhythmus vergebenen
10117 Berlin „Preis der Nationalgalerie für junge Kunst“ haben die Freunde der Nationalgalerie
nicht nur einen deutlichen Akzent in der zeitgenössischen Kunst gesetzt, sondern
immer wieder auch die Bedeutung Berlins als Produktionsort von Kunst betont.
Es ist uns deshalb heute besondere Freude und Ehre, dass unsere Stiftung einen
Anteil des Auktionserlöses erhält, um so weitere Ankäufe zeitgenössischer Kunst
für die Sammlung der Nationalgalerie auch in diesen schwierigen Zeiten zu
realisieren und damit ein positives Signal für die Kunststadt Berlin zu setzen.
