Abstract: Reality Exhibition and Auction at Saatchi Gallery
The Saatchi Gallery in London will host Abstract: Reality, a group exhibition of abstract and photorealistic contemporary works by emerging artists, from December 6 to 13, 2018. The show includes sculptures, paintings, photographs, and works on paper selected by the gallery, Presenza (a platform supporting young artists and galleries), and The Auction Collective (an auction house collaborating with artist groups and galleries). The exhibition concludes on December 13 with an auction of the exhibited pieces, designed to be open and accessible: starting bids range from £500 to £15,000, and buyer's commission is 0%. Italian artists Addo Trinci (born 1956 in Pistoia) and Valter Adam Casotto (born 1980 in Padua) are among the participants. The event aligns with the missions of The Auction Collective and Presenza to make contemporary art easier to buy and own.
