“Vintage is more than just objects of the past. Vintage is all about inspiration”

“Just because something may have its prime, it does not mean its purpose is lost”

I deliberately quote those from my second book ART DESIGN VINTAGE, published in 2016
because they represent what Modern Vintage Auction is all about this time around. Yes, what
I am offering in Sidharta Auctioneer’s first auction in 2020 is: art, design and vintage in the
form of painting, photography, chair, porcelain tableware, and other items.

Firstly, I am proud to present to you Jakarta Vintage chairs in collaboration with talented
young artists Mabelle Emeralda and Evan Aditya. They are authentic vintage chairs, made
of old teakwood, which are renovated and refurbished in canvas fabric with modern
contemporary artworks by the two artists. Aside from that, there are also limited edition
of fine porcelain tableware collection designed by me and Jakarta Vintage, as well as some
old Chinese glass painted mirrors, and hand illustration prints taken from old magazine/
newspaper. All these items are for those who want to present personal style and character in
their living space as they are unique décor items.
And for those gentlemen who want to bring out that sartorial style and appreciate fine things
in life, we have vintage men’s watches by luxury brands such as Omega and Rolex as well as
more affordable brands such as Oris, Seiko, Buren, and Edox to offer.

Last but not least is our collaboration with the Atreyu Moniaga Project (AMP) which presents
photography works by Atreyu Moniaga himself and contemporary arts by Evan Aditya, Karin
Josephine, and Ray Lidya. AMP is an artist management company founded in 2013 by Atreyu
focusing on promoting and managing young artists – mostly illustrators & photographers. In
its short journey, AMP has gone places – exhibiting in Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and USA!
Therefore I cannot be happier and prouder to work together with them and present to you
some of their fine works – which I personally think add the modern contemporary touch to
this auction.

To sum up, may I share another personal thought on art: “There is only one credo: choose the
ones that make you happy when you look at it”. Happy bidding!
