MESSAGE FROM SIDHARTA AUCTIONEER

Dear Art Lovers & Collectors,

Welcome to Sidharta Auctioneer ArtFordable Auction special edition, presenting the selected
artworks by 25 young artists from the peripheral art scenes around East Java, such as Batu,
Malang and Surabaya, who are the members of Mini Art Malang (MAM) community. We are
committed to support talented young artists of Indonesia to get exposure from the ecosystem
in addition to art enthusiasts as well. This collaboration has been made possible through the
support of IndoArtNow and MAM. You will discover 30 lots of their creations in the first session
of this auction.

Aligned with the mission above, our collector from Surabaya intends to auction quite a number
of paintings by Indonesian artists, among others are by Cak Kandar, Mozes Misdy and Srihady.
The plan is to channel the proceeds to art related cause. During his life, he had the passion to
patron and worked closely with Indonesian young artists. He sometimes took them to travel to
as far as to China, allowing them to immerse and capture the beauty of scenic nature.
The initiative to carry on his legacy took place March this year, three months before
visiting MAM event that had been arranged by IndoArtNow in June. Having connected the
dots, I realized that MAM is the suitable instution to receive the proceeds, which will help to
further develop and sustain MAM event, specifically in the year 2024.

Alongside, in the last session, works by senior and reknown late artists are being offered as
well. The line ups are Arie Smit, Barli, Jeihan, I Dewa Putu Mokoh, Han Snel, Krijono, Maria Tjui,

today’s artists. Their genuine love for art, inspirational works also techniques have inspired
thousands of young aritsts today and onwards. The auction is also decorated with a few
vintage selections to add coziness to your personal space.
