POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Vor zwei Wochen fiel endlich der Hammer bei @Sotheby’s im Palais Oppenheim in Köln.
Zugunsten des von @desiree.bohlen & @anja_kaelin gegründeten Vereins @desideria.ev konnte weit über eine halbe Million Euro eingesammelt werden.

ABER DER NACHVERKAUF RENNT NOCH BIS ENDE DES MONATS - Endspurt also, denn noch besteht die Möglichkeit aus den tollen Werken das eine oder andere zu erwerben und damit die pflegenden Angehörigen von Menschen mit Demenz zu unterstützen.
Der Link ist in meiner Brio zu finden oder einfach eine Nachricht an mich senden bitte.

KUNST KAUFEN GUTES TUN - FÜR EIN BESSERES LEBEN MIT DEMENZ!

Ich möchte mich nochmals bei jedem einzelnen allen der 200 phantastischen Künstlerinnen und Künstlern bedanken, denn nur durch deren Spende eines Werkes, ist so eine Auktion überhaupt erst möglich. Ohne Sie wäre dieses Projekt und diese gewaltige Summe nie zustande gekommen.

Ebenso danke ich all unseren Sponsoren, denn auch nur durch deren Unterstützung kann u.a. ein Katalog gedruckt, versendet und produziert werden.

Dazu danke ich @Sotheby’s allen voran Frau @frankahaiderer und dem ganzen Team aus Österreich (@andrea_jungmann) und Deutschland (@guarnieri_art, @philippdemeter, @stefan.j.hess, @seleiserafin.enjoys & @ninabuhne) es war eine fabelhafte Zusammenarbeit und eine große Ehre das wunderbare Palais Oppenheim bespielen zu dürfen.

Dazu kommen viele unzählige fleißige Helferinnen und Helfer, ich nenne nur einige, (@julia.melchior.royal, @kai_kullen oder @claudia_linzel_podcast) die alle im Hintergrund agierten, aber ohne die es ebenso auch nicht geht, auch diesen mag ich an dieser Stelle allen danken!

Und natürlich die drei Rotary Clubs, Wien-West, Wien-Belvedere (@lion78mp) und Köln-Ville (@s_zilkens), die als Veranstalter die ganze Auktion gestützt haben.

Den Film hat die phantastische Birkelbach Mediagroup GmbH unter der Leitung von Jörg Birkelbach produziert. by @imsoart

Organized by three @rotaryinternational clubs. All informations on how to bid from anywhere on the fabulous works by 200 artists from 53 different counties, the good cause you support with it and the catalogue can be found in my bio or send me a message. #sothebys #sothebyscologne #charityartauction #charity #charityevent #buyartdogood #artforagoodcause #contemporaryart #art #artist #artworks #desideriacare #desideria #dementia #dementiaawareness #rotary #rotaryinternational #rotaryclubs #rotarygermany by @imsoart

Drawing, engineered surfaces and sculptural construction meet in five works that explore transformation, connection and open-ended form.

@kaarina_kaikkonen reduces the flower to an intimate constellation of line and precious dust, balancing fragility with the quiet radiance of gold.

@engineeringartist combines industrial precision with the optical depth of resin, creating a surface in which colour seems to occupy its own spatial universe.

@viktoria_morgenstern brings contrasting materials into a deliberately unresolved construction whose open ending invites the viewer to continue the form imaginatively.

@olgaburkard_art uses the flexibility of mixed media to explore connection as something assembled from distinct marks, forms and material traces.

@anna_moskaletz knots black and silver folds around an absent body, turning painted fabric into a tense choreography of concealment and release.

Generously donated for this charity auction.

These five works use colour, body, memory and transformation to challenge the distinction between image, object and living form.

@rawsofficial gives chaos a deliberate visual structure, balancing the immediacy of spray paint with layered colour and controlled compositional tension.

@miriam_lenk creates an assertive hybrid figure whose title, scale and bodily form combine humour with a powerful reconsideration of sculptural femininity.

@studioerikschmidt uses the directness of gouache to build a compact image in which gesture and observation remain visibly active on the paper.

@helenshulkin treats painting as an act of revelation, allowing layered forms and atmospheric depth to suggest something emerging from concealment.

@enya.burger gives memory an unstable, fluid body, turning the mutable character of slime into an image of accumulation, residue and change.
