What's on Catawiki?
Interior Design
Timeless top-drawer design
With an exclusive selection that combines classic designer objects with contemporary design, we’re certain you’ll discover something in our weekly Design auctions that stands out.
“This beautiful coffee table, with its black lacquered metal frame and birch plywood table top, has a modern look and feel, even though it was designed all the way back in 1953. It was in production at Spectrum for just two years, with only 100 or 200 produced in total, which makes it quite unique.”
- Christian Plat
Photography
Iconic & inspiring photographs
For original, limited snapshots by reputable photographers and upcoming talent or rare photomechanical prints, our Photography auctions are where you need to be.
“This intriguing photograph was taken in 1961, after Mario Giacomelli met a group of young students at the Episcopal Seminary at Senigallia. He took pictures of priests off-duty: relaxing, playing games or dancing. Unfortunately his venture ended after he photographed young priests smoking and he was banned from the seminary.”
- Jamie Beeden
Street Art
Straight from the artist’s studio
Discover emerging talent or invest in pieces made by the leading stencil masters and graffiti kings in our weekly Street Art auctions.
“I try to make sure that, next to the works I know will do well, there are also some surprising pieces in the auction. This piece by Kev Munday is a good representation of his work: it catches the eye immediately, and makes you want to keep looking until you’ve seen every detail.”
- Anthony Crisp
Contemporary Art
The very best of contemporary art
Explore the refreshing collection of original paintings, designs and lithographies by both established and upcoming artists in our weekly Modern & Contemporary Art auctions.
“You can see a clear evolution in the work of Alex Claude: not only is his work bigger, but his technique has become more expressionist in recent times, expressing movement. This painting was based on his recent trip to the lake region in Italy.”
- Cecilia Chol

Young International Artists
Catawiki is proud to have been a privileged partner of the YIA art fair in Paris. Several of our experts attended the fair in person and were pleased to have been at the prestigious location of the Carreau du Temple. During the 4 day art fair for modern and contemporary art, they were able to interact and speak with many visitors. Two lucky winners were delighted to have won a piece of art by contemporary artist Alex Claude! Keep following us and discovering every week our new auctions that include artworks from well-known artists as well as up-and-coming artists.
