AAA

What makes a work queer? The conventional markers are familiar: sensuality, the body, same-sex desire. But the category gets more interesting the longer you sit with it. This Pride Month, we went looking for what it leaves out.

Selling a single artwork is one thing. Selling twenty, fifty, or even hundreds at once is something else entirely. Terms such as “sell art in bulk”, “office art clearance”, “liquidate art collection”, or even, simply, “how to sell multiple artworks” all hint at the same underlying anxiety: How to shift volume quickly but also profitably, without sacrificing value.

For big varied art collections, where the value of the collection is not fully defined, a more dynamic approach is often needed. Here at Art Again, we have just the solution for you.

For our fourth instalment of AA Adopts, we speak with couple Petr & Jana, about their shared love for art and how it's like collecting secondhand art as a couple.

For our third instalment of AA Adopts, we speak with William Ng as he shares how two very different artworks found a home in his office, and the unexpected ways they've shaped the space around him.

For our second instalment of AA Adopts, we feature Amanda and Joshua as they share about their first-ever artwork acquisition for their newly renovated BTO flat, their special encounter with the seller of the artwork, and the messaging behind the piece.

For our first instalment of AA Adopts, we feature creative couple Manasa and Adithya as they share about overcoming differences in taste, and acquiring their first artwork for their future home.

In our third instalment, we feature Christine Mak (Singaporean, b. 1957), known for her seamless blend of Chinese brush traditions with Western painting techniques. Her works, ranging from ink to collage and oil, bring a modern, light-hearted sensibility to familiar subjects, shaped by her training at NAFA and under Lingnan master Chao Shao-An.

In our second instalment, we feature the late Ardiyanto Pranata (Indonesian, 1944 - 2022), known for his slow-dyed, gradient batiks and abstract paintings inspired by cellular forms and nature. His legacy includes both innovative artworks and his generous mentorship of the Indonesian art scene in Jogjakarta.

In our first instalment, we feature the late Toya Lim Khoon Hock (Malaysian, 1943–2016), a pioneer of batik impressionism. Known for his lineless technique, his works captured rural Malaysian life with care and technical precision, challenging what batik could be.
