In total 35 pieces of young artists were sold on first-ever Latvian Young Art Auction held last week, where highest price of 3000\u20ac was paid for Ella Me\u017eule\u2019s painting “Atceros k\u0101 Tu man st\u0101st\u012bsi, par cilv\u0113kiem, ko Tu piedz\u012bvosi un notikumiem, kas b\u016bs manas atmi\u0146as”.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another highlight was the most intense bidding for \u201cObservation Nr. 22\u201d by Anna Pab\u0113rza, which attracted altogether 15 bids from people gathered at the event in Riga\u2019s Kimmel Quarter as well as ones taking part in the auction online. Exhibition visitors\u2019 favorite was painting “Let\u2019s do it again” by Kl\u0101vs Loris (sold for \u20ac2500), followed by “Nebeidzam\u0101 Pirts” by Kristi\u0101na Poce and “\u0136engarags” by \u0112riks Caune. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to curator Raivis Alksnis, the event demonstrated that young Latvian artists are gaining recognition not only locally but across the region, as several pieces were bought by Estonian young art collectors. “Our neighbors have much longer experience with young art auctions where similar events have been taken place already ten times and highest bids have reached over 20 thousand euros,” adds Alksnis and promises the successful auction in Riga was a start of a new tradition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the initiators of the Latvian Young Art Auction, Invego founder and art collector Kristjan\u2011Thor V\u00e4hi, highlights the value and energy of young art: \u201cEvery new home in Latvia deserves a piece of local art \u2014 it brings character and soul to a living space. Young art is exciting, innovativeand inspiring, capturing the spirit of the moment. And it\u2019s often far more accessible than people expect, making it not only a meaningful choice for new homeowners, but also a wonderful gift for a new home.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The auction showcased 50 works by 29 emerging Latvian artists and attracted active participation both in person and online via jaunamaksla.lv<\/u><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the success of this debut and building on Estonia’s longstanding experience, the next auction is already planned for this autumn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
