Proximus Art Collection vzw/asbl, the non-profit organization that manages the Proximus Group's art collection, will offer around 70 works of art at auction this fall, in cooperation with auction house Christie’s. The proceeds will be used to further enhance the Proximus Art Collection.
As one of Belgium’s largest corporate art collections, the Proximus Art Collection adorned the spaces of the Proximus headquarters in Brussels for many years. Due to ongoing building renovation works, most of the collection has been placed in a special warehouse to ensure optimal conservation. Some of the monumental works in the collection have been temporarily relocated.
Going forward, the art collection will continue to play a prominent role in Proximus' daily working environment. In addition to the existing pieces, new works will continue to be integrated. To finance their acquisition, a selection of works for sale – with limited impact on the overall quality of the collection – has been made. Some of these works will be sold via auction at Christie’s. Ahead of the auction, a separate selection of works from the collection will be made available for purchase to Proximus employees exclusively.
The online auction will run from Sept. 11 through to Sept. 25 organized auction house Christie’s. The sale will include pieces by Andy Warhol, Roy Liechtenstein, Robert Longo, Sol LeWitt, Thomas Ruff and Dirk Braeckman to name only a few artists. In total, approximately 70 works will be presented at auction.
