Art makes our world richer. It moves us, raises questions and shows us what we would otherwise overlook. Behind every work is a person who had the courage to share it with the public, often at the very beginning of their journey. Today, this courage meets a growing audience: in 2025, more contemporary works were sold at auction worldwide than ever before, most of them for under 5,000 US dollars. Yet the big money still goes to established names. To turn courage into a career, young artists need one thing above all: the chance to be seen.
This is exactly where the YOUNG ART AUCTION comes in. From numerous submissions, the jury selected 53 young positions. This year's jury comprises Peter Schneeberger (Head of Current Cultural Affairs at ORF, host of “Kulturmontag”), Günther Oberhollenzer (Artistic Director of the Künstlerhaus Wien), Mag. Doris Richter (Director, Leopold Fine Arts), Ursula Simacek (SIMACEK Group) and the ARTCARE team.
The selected artists are studying at art academies in Vienna, Linz, Berlin and Munich, or recently graduated from them. On show are paintings, watercolours, sculptures, objects and ceramics. Every work is offered at 50% of its usual sale price, and 90% of the hammer price goes directly to the artists. In this way, new artistic voices gain early visibility and a fair start to their professional careers.
For 19 years, the YOUNG ART AUCTION has stood for courage, quality and the deliberate development of young artists' careers. All works can be viewed online, and bids can be placed in advance. These advance bids are of course taken into account in the live auction.
