S1 | The Open Studio: An Uncurated Art — Live/Online Auction Tuesday, 27 January 2026 @ 18:00
Live/Online • Tuesday, 27 January 2026 @ 18:00
S1 | The Open Studio invites bidders into a different kind of auction space — one shaped by process, accumulation, and discovery rather than rigid curatorial rules.
This is an uncurated art auction in the truest sense: finished works hang alongside studies, recognised names sit comfortably beside unknown hands, and paintings, works on paper, mixed media, prints, and photography coexist without hierarchy. The result is a living wall of visual language — varied, honest, and open to interpretation.
Whether you’re a seasoned collector, a decorator sourcing character pieces, or a first-time bidder learning to trust your eye, The Open Studio rewards curiosity and confident decision-making.
🔍 What’s Inside the Catalogue?
Explore a wide-ranging selection of:
Paintings – oil on board and canvas, from figurative and landscape works to expressive abstraction
Works on paper – watercolours, charcoal and pastel drawings, ink studies, and mixed media compositions
Prints & multiples – lithographs, etchings, aquatints, screenprints, and decorative editions
Photography – vintage black-and-white, wildlife, documentary, and iconic glamour imagery
Decorative and crossover works – textile-based pieces, experimental surfaces, and unconventional media
Some works are refined and resolved; others are raw, exploratory, or time-worn. Together, they reflect the real ecology of art as it is found, lived with, and collected.
