SAMPLE has become a project that represents a community of young artists from around the world and people, who are interested in contemporary art and actively interacting with it.

AUCTIONS & EXHIBITIONS

Our main activity is an auction, which is held every season. In two years of our existence, we held 5 auctions at key galleries and sites in Moscow. The average attendance of the event – 500 guests. The total number of works sold exceeded 400. The average price of work is 1,000$. The most expensive work was sold at the last auction for 7,000$. In summer, the auction format is replaced by an backyard parties, where small works are sold and master classes are held.
