Achieving the largest result in the history of the support auctions of the Estonian Artists' Union, during which 162 works were sold and 2.3 million euros were raised, helped artists who were faced with a 700,000 euro fraud damage and highlighted the strength of the Estonian art scene. #EestiKunst #Kunstioksjon #Kultuuriajalugu (translated)
"When planning the auction, we did not dare to hope that it would cover the entire 700,000 euro loss, as art auctions are unpredictable. Therefore, we cut union expenses and looked for other ways to free ourselves from the loan burden. But thanks to the people who decided to purchase the pearls of the art collection and donated works, as well as strongly support the artists and the union, we can now pay our obligations ahead of schedule and think through plans on how to best support our members and Estonian art life," said Ektermann. #EestiKunst #KunstnikeLiit #Toetusoksjon (translated)

The sale of the Estonian Artists Union art collection raises questions about why the auction of art values is conducted in a dubious manner that may repel potential buyers, and whether the organization of auctions should therefore be halted, asks journalist Katrin Lust. #EestiKunst #KunstiOksjon #KunstnikeLiit (translated)

Kunstnik Jaan Elken väljendab muret, et Eesti Kunstnike Liidu korraldatud oktoobri oksjon, mille tuludest kavandatakse pettuse tõttu tekkinud kahjude katmine, viib esemeid avalikust kunstikogust tundmatutesse kätesse, rõhutades, et need teosed peaksid olema avalikus omandis, mitte kapi taga. #EestiKunst #Kunstioksjon #AvalikKunst
