This season's gallery auction is a celebration of Modern Romanian art — a journey through pivotal generations that shaped visual culture in the 20th century and beyond. At its heart stands an evocative composition by Ștefan Luchian, whose expressive brushwork and lyrical sensibility defined a new emotional depth in Romanian painting. His work sets the tone for an exhibition where tradition meets transformation.

The selection includes celebrated names such as Nicolae Tonitza, whose tender, nuanced portraits, and chromatic finesse continue to captivate collectors, and Francisc Șirato, whose vibrant color palette and structural clarity embody the interwar modernist spirit.

Oscar Han’s sculptural forms bring dimension to the selection, while Samuel Mützner, a globe-trotting post-Impressionist, adds radiant landscapes and seascapes inspired by his travels and academic rigor.

The exhibition also pays homage to artists like Max W. Arnold, Sava Henția, and Iosif Iser, whose contributions bridge classical rigor and modern experimentation. Works by Dumitru Ghiață, Ion Țuculescu, Adam Bălțatu, and Gheorghe Ionescu Doru reflect the evolving relationship between Romanian identity and pictorial form.

A rare selection of works by Francois Gall, Emilian Lăzărescu, Simon A. Iuca, and Ioan Tureatcă enrich the offering, highlighting the refined, often overlooked voices within the broader narrative of Romanian modernism.

Completing the ensemble are Richard Meinl Mayol, Apostol Mănciulescu, Ion Hoeflich, and Răzvan Stoica, whose works chart the transitions between tradition, figuration, and the abstract.

This curated moment invites collectors and viewers alike to rediscover the timeless visions of artists who laid the foundations for Romanian visual modernity — voices that remain strikingly relevant in today’s art discourse.
