The Blue-Chip Lots: Masters Whose Markets Never Sleep

Andy Warhol

Few artists transcend mere recognition; Warhol's name embodies the very spirit of his era. He grasped a revolutionary concept that took the art world decades to embrace: in a society dominated by mass production, the image itself becomes a form of currency, compelling the artist to engage with it unapologetically.

Warhol's contributions in this sale represent the essence of that paradigm shift. Featuring prints and multiples that dwell at the intersection of art history and contemporary relevance, these works serve as powerful reminders that the world Warhol depicted remains immensely pertinent. Available for acquisition today, their fate hinges upon the fall of the hammer tonight.

David Hockney

At eighty-eight years young, Hockney continues to create luminous iPad paintings in the serenity of his Normandy garden. He remains the preeminent embodiment of joy in the art world, maintaining a vivid curiosity about the fundamental question: What does it feel like to truly observe?

A Hockney in any setting infuses that space with vitality. It does not require attention; instead, it invites it, akin to a window that entices the eye to explore what lies beyond. The offerings in this auction embody that very allure. This is your last opportunity today.

Damien Hirst

For three decades, Hirst has sparked controversy, and in doing so, has carved out a unique legacy. His spot paintings, preserved animals, and sparkling diamond skulls have all faced scrutiny that often accompanies art that challenges comfort zones. Nevertheless, the market for Hirst's accessible editions and secondary-market works has remarkably persevered, often exceeding critics' expectations.

The stark reality is that provocative art, paired with authentic formal intelligence, tends to sustain its value significantly better than conventional pieces lacking the same depth. The Hirst works featured in today's sale illustrate this principle vividly. They demand attention not merely for their aesthetic but for the intellectual dialogue they cultivate, making them invaluable additions to any collection.

Alec Monopoly

Alec Monopoly's journey is distinctive. His street art, transitioning from urban canvases to prestigious auction houses, has retained the vigorous graphic energy that first captivated audiences. The Monopoly Man, adorned in a top hat, serves as a ubiquitous symbol of wealth, rendered vibrantly across numerous surfaces Monopoly has creatively transformed.

His creations are a blend of street energy and refined studio finish, visually striking and increasingly sought after by collectors craving work that exemplifies cultural immediacy and visual impact. The lots available in this auction personify these attributes — and they will not remain available for long.

The Artists Whose Moment Is Now

Ansou Niabaly

Standing before an Ansou Niabaly canvas evokes an ineffable sensation before reason fully grasps it. This is not a mere metaphor; his work communicates directly with the viewer's body through the substantial application of paint and the physical urgency of his mark-making process.

Rooted in the African contemporary tradition, Niabaly carries history without being confined by it, intertwining the weight of memory and displacement with the limitless formal potentials of paint. Collectors who identify talent in Niabaly will likely reflect on this day as pivotal — either as a time when they foresaw his rise or when they acted wisely upon it.

The hammer falls tonight. This is your moment of decision.

Antonia Beauvoir

In her works, a woman exists, yet her face remains concealed — veiled by blossoms and silk, inviting viewers to linger longer, returning again and again to solve this enigmatic riddle.

This duality characterizes Beauvoir's artistic approach, where concealment fosters revelation and absence amplifies presence. Her large-scale figurative canvases blend technical excellence with contemporary themes, paving a pathway toward a burgeoning secondary market spanning Poland, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, and Belgium.

The collectors engaging with Beauvoir today recognize that they are acquiring at prices that have yet to mirror the full trajectory of her promising practice. This opportunity may not present itself readily in the future.

Richard Prince (1994)

The name is emblematic: an artist born in 1994 — invoking an homage to the American master of appropriation. His work grapples with profound queries rendered urgent by the digital era: What endures amidst infinite reproduction? What does authorship signify in a world of ceaseless imagery? What value does the original hold when the copy is universally accessible?

Richard Prince (1994) does not provide simple answers; instead, he enacts these inquiries within canvases that exhibit remarkable formal rigor and conceptual clarity, situating him within a lineage that connects Warhol, Richter, and the original Richard Prince. His work addresses the specific visual anxieties of 2026, appealing to collectors ready to engage with both intellect and emotion.

Do not miss this last chance today.

One Hundred Lots. One Closing. Tonight.

The Contemporary Art Spring 2026 sale has drawn bidders for weeks, with early participants already establishing their positions. The works that dazzled at the outset continue to attract significant attention.

However, bidding during the final hours possesses its own allure, and for good reason. A collector participating in the last surge has conducted their research, closely following the lot, and determined this is the price at which they wish to commit. Last-minute bids are often deeply intentional decisions by those who know exactly what they desire, waiting for the opportune moment to seize it.

This moment is at hand.

One hundred lots. Warhol. Hockney. Hirst. Alec Monopoly. Ansou Niabaly. Antonia Beauvoir. Richard Prince (1994). Works spanning every dimension of contemporary art, from Pop Art luminaries who forged the terminology that continues to articulate the market, to trailblazing practices shaping the future.

Each lot has undergone meticulous authentication prior to listing, with every acquisition thoroughly documented. Buyer's premium: 20% — representing the lowest rate within the professional market, contrasting with Christie's 27% and Sotheby's 28%. Secure DHL shipping across Europe, fully insured, ranges from €150 to €450.

The auction concludes tonight, accompanied by the closing of unparalleled opportunities.
