A Gallery & Auction House Specializing in Impressionist, Modern and Post-War Art

Aurora & Athena – Fine Art Auction House in Barcelona

Rooted in Spain,
Active Worldwide

Aurora & Athena was founded in 2024 in Alicante, Spain, with a simple goal: to create a trusted place for collectors to discover and acquire remarkable works of art.

After making Alicante home in 2022, the founders—drawing on many years in the international art world—decided it was time to bring their vision to life. They wanted to build something personal, professional, and globally connected.

In May 2025, we moved to Barcelona, continuing to grow in a city known for its deep artistic heritage and international spirit.

Our first auction took place, featuring a tightly curated selection of 20th-century artworks.

The strong interest and participation from international collectors confirmed the strength of our vision.

Our second auction surpassed expectations, achieving record results and drawing attention from serious buyers across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

This success firmly established us as a rising player in the global art market.
