November Fine Art Auction – A Dialogue Across Continents and Visions
Step into the November Fine Art Auction, an exceptional collection that bridges continents, traditions, and artistic languages. Taking place on Saturday, November 8 at 17:00 (CET), this catalog presents works by visionaries whose mastery defined and reshaped 20th-century art.
Among the highlights are the poetic modernism of Georgette Chen, the luminous palettes of Irma Stern, and the lyrical abstractions of Nejad Devrim. From Jilali Gharbaoui’s groundbreaking Moroccan expressionism to the vibrant energy of Hyppolite Hector, this selection celebrates voices that transcended geography and identity. Alongside them, the refined symbolism of Joseph Sima and the sunlit impressionism of Konstantin Gorbatov remind us of the enduring power of painting to capture both the intimate and the universal.
This auction is more than a gathering of artworks—it is a journey through cultural memory, innovation, and artistic courage. Each piece invites dialogue, offering collectors not only beauty but a place in the continuing story of modern art.
Join us this November and discover a collection that unites vision, passion, and legacy.
