Coming in the wake of its latest record-breaker, Salcedo Auctions’ subsidiary Gavel&Block is holding the final 2022 edition of its signature online ‘art+design’ auction featuring over 500 lots of fine art, furniture, decor and valuable collectibles on October 8, 2022, Saturday, 11a.m.
Hosted by salcedoauctions.com, it will have two special features to showcase the premier auction house’s passion for industry innovation.
The first is a special curated section of the sale titled Objects as Convergence featuring the works of leading contemporary Filipino artists Robert Langenegger, Garapata, Doktor Karayom, Marionne Contreras and Juan Alcazaren, who were invited to focus on the sale theme.
The second is a capsule event, art+design meets gin+tonic, a bidding party co-hosted by premium gin brand Hendricks. Buyers are invited to come to NEX Tower on auction day
so they can bid in real time on their devices while sipping cocktails, an embrace of the new normal where in-person activities are melded with innovation, at the same time joining the excitement of an online sale.
Catering to Next Gen collectors, the room list has paintings and sculptures by modern Philippine masters, among them National Artists Arturo Luz, Jose Joya, Napoleon Abueva, and Abdulmari Imao, and established names such as Impy Pilapil, Pacita Abad, Eduardo Castrillo, and Nena Saguil.
