In 2022, Artcurial launched a new speciality entitled Twenty One Contemporary. This speciality focuses on the 21st century and encompasses the current contemporary scene as well as its niches, such as urban art and contemporary African art, which Artcurial has successfully developed over the past few years. Twenty One Contemporary is a response to the growing demand from collectors for international contemporary art.
Since its creation, Artcurial has never ceased to innovate, notably through auctions conducted as genuine thematic projects. In 2018, C.R.E.A.M. showcased the Supreme brand and its collaborations with artists, then in 2019, Outsider(s) brought to the fore artists on the fringes of the institutional system.
The Twenty One Contemporary auctions reflect the dynamism of the current scene and the enthusiasm of collectors for young emerging talent alongside leading contemporary artists that Artcurial has always championed, such as Joyce Pensato, Aboudia, Godwin Champs Namuyimba, Banksy, Tadashi Kawamata, Mike Lee and KAWS.
