Bernard Venet at Sotheby’s is an opportunity to acquire unusual paintings, a combination of science, art and randomness.
Bernar Venet at Sotheby’s-a pioneer of conceptual art
Bernar Venet is one of the most interesting artists of the 20th century. He was initially associated with the Minimalism and Conceptualism movements. However, he quickly gained recognition for his innovative approach to art in which he constantly explores the boundaries of order and chaos.
It is interesting to note that Venet initially took up painting, creating enlarged mathematical equations and geometric diagrams. His interest in mathematics and science stemmed from a desire to dematerialize art – a search for an art form that transcends the traditional boundaries of visuality. In the 1990s, he created a series ofAccident, in which steel rods, set up and then accidentally knocked over, created unique compositions. It was in this series that Venet first experimented with randomness as an artistic tool.
EVENT: Generative art on the blockchain
At the Bernard Venet auction in Sotheby’s a collection will be presentedEVENT, the first long-term series of generative artworks. The title of the series is an anagram of the artist’s name. It is a reference to a play on words inspired by Marcel Duchamp, who playfully commented on Venet’s works as “selling the wind” (La vente de vent est l’event de Venet). Duchamp thus underscored the dematerialization of art that Venet was aiming for.
CollectionEVENT is an innovative combination of art and technology. The author uses generative algorithms to create unique digital artworks. Each work is created using complex algorithms that generate an almost infinite number of possible compositions. Venet, contrary to his previous preferences, decided to bring color and energy to these works.
Market value of the work
Works from the collectionEVENT are valued on the art market. Their value is constantly increasing. Estimated prices for individual works can range from $50,000 to $200,000, depending on the complexity and uniqueness of individual compositions. Generative art, especially created on blockchain, is gaining popularity among collectors. This increases the value of the works on display.
A bargain for collectors
The Bernard Venet auction at Sotheby’s is a unique opportunity to acquire exceptional works of art by one of the most important contemporary artists. Images from the latest collectionEVENT, are not only aesthetic, but also have the character of an intellectual challenge. They force the viewer to reflect on the nature of art and reality.
