"Collecting Now". Postmodern and Contemporary Art Auction #658/2026

What is next in contemporary art? Will pixels replace the aesthetic experience of contemplating a painting or sculpture? Will materiality and volumetrics become outdated in the face of immersive and multisensory works? The “Collecting Now” auction offers a reflection on the hermeneutics of contemporary art, illustrating the phenomenon of collecting as a personal choice, a desire to live surrounded by works that tell a story. The smell of acrylic colors, the fragility of charcoal, the hardness of stone, or the softness of wood—all these elements represent aspects that can never be replaced by artificial intelligence and its intrusion into the creative process. “Collecting Now” is an invitation to all those who wish to form a collection through inspired choices at the right moment. Thus, a selection of works signed by Mi Kafchin, Mircea Suciu, Felix Aftene, Ștefan Câlția, Corneliu Baba, or Ion Țuculescu awaits discovery at the Cesianu-Racoviță Palace.
