One of a Kind
132 unique works. 129 established and rising stars of contemporary art. Two of Europe’s leading cultural organisations. A one-off opportunity for collectors. This is Two in One. A first-of-its-kind sale in auction history celebrating the exceptional contribution made by the renowned contemporary art institutions: Amsterdam-based de Appel and Rotterdam-based Witte de With. Since 1975 and 1990, respectively, de Appel and Witte de With have, through their support for a whole generation of artists, provided a centre for the innovative and the new. Unconfined by the ownership of a standing body of works, they remain dedicated to allowing time and space to show the art they consider most relevant and revolutionary at each moment. Now, in a testimony of the support provided by these organizations over the years, an unprecedented gathering of internationally respected artists have come together, each donating a work to raise funds in aid of future projects at de Appel and Witte de With. Such unique provenance with many works created especially for the sale, and accessible estimates makes this a truly one of a kind event for the contemporary art collecting world.
