19 February - 3 March 2026
Aspire Art presents the third instalment of the P5 Online Auction Series, a thoughtfully curated selection that foregrounds the materiality of art as a central theme. Bringing together historic, modern and contemporary works, the collection spans a wide range of media and artistic processes, highlighting the enduring creative currency of art in its many forms.
Materiality plays a vital role in shaping how an artwork is experienced — from the tactile presence of paint and paper to the physicality of sculpture and the technical precision of photography and printmaking. Featuring carefully selected lots, this auction offers both new and established collectors the opportunity to engage with compelling artistic ideas expressed through painting, works on paper, prints, sculpture and photography.
The auction is closed for bidding.
