Published at Oct 8th 2020 1:41pm
Dear Friends of Sidharta Auctioneer & Art Lovers,
After a few months of delay, our ArtFordable Auction is back this July and facilitated with “Timed then Live” online auction. We have hand-picked 47 paintings to welcome this summer and for our fellow Muslims to embrace Eid al- Adha at the end of this month. The artist Meta Pim presents her interpretation of Ka’bah, titled Jagalah Allah (Let’s guard Allah), which is meant to say “take care of Allah, Allah will take care of you”. Where Sea Power by I Putu Bonuz, is a spiritual reflection, looking at the sea as a source of life and fertility that holds mystery.
On the cover, you will find Perlindungan (Protection) by Maulana Silitonggeng.
This painting has just recently been completed for this auction and is relatable to the pandemic that we are going through. Additionally, the image also represents strive and hope that we all need.
Among the selections, here are seven other artworks by the following artists whom you might want to discover further I Made Wiradana, JB Iwan Sulistyo, Wahyu Gunawan, the late Jeihan Sukmantoro, Faizal and I Nyoman Sujana “Kenyem”. Each of the artworks entails strong and unique characters that convey a thousand words.
We also cater written and phone biddings, but please ensure you have registered and submitted the bids at the latest 24 hours prior to the live online auction. The live online auction is going to be held on Wednesday, 22nd July, 2020 at 19:30 (GMT +7). The online pre-bidding will allow you to start placing your bids on our online auction platform. You will also be able to increase your bid during the live online auction as you follow along. Shall you wish to seek condition reports or speak with us, we are available through any means of communications.

Don’t forget to visit the virtual gallery on our website, where you can see the paintings beforehand.
It is our commitment this year to donate 1% of the total hammer price to a legitimate institution, as we believe that growing our community will also help us grow. The proceeds will go to Sekolah Bisa, a small community school providing primary education for underprivilege children of waste scavengers.
