Klimt02 sought to understand the role of contemporary jewellery in auction sales. Are there specialised auctions for this field? Who are the leading players in its promotion, and what insights can they share?
To explore these questions, we contacted five auction houses and received responses from two of them: Nadine Becker from Quittenbaum Art Auctions, who has long been committed to promoting these events, and Veritas Art Auctioneers, which organised its first contemporary jewellery sale last July in Lisbon. These responses allowed us to analyse the current state of contemporary jewellery in auctions, consider its future, and understand the significance of these events for the promotion of this artistic practice.
