On 9 October 2025, students of Group БЦМ1-25, Digital Art programme of the Faculty of Culture and Creative Industries of KNUTD, together with their curator Svitlana Pashukova, visited the exhibition “Ukrainian Collectible Art of the 19th-21st Centuries”, held at the GOLDENS Auction House.

The exhibition encompasses a wide range of periods and styles – from academic art and folk traditions to innovative explorations – and presents works by Petro Levchenko, Hryhorii Svitlytskyi, Abram Manevych, Stepan Kolesnikov, Ivan Marchuk, Serhii Shyshko, Mykola Hlushchenko, Anatoliy Lymaiev, Alla Horska, Maria Prymachenko, and other outstanding masters of Ukrainian art.

The GOLDENS Auction House is a unique space that unites artistic tradition, contemporary cultural dynamics, and the real mechanisms of the art market. Here, art gains not only an aesthetic but also an economic dimension – functioning as a living element of cultural circulation that sets trends, shapes values, and plays an important role in preserving the institutional memory of Ukrainian art through the documentation of its history.

During the visit, the students had the opportunity not only to immerse themselves in the artistic atmosphere of the exhibition but also to gain insight into how art functions within the art market system. The visit served as an important component of professional training within the course “Academic Fine Arts”, as it fostered a deeper understanding of artworks, analytical thinking, and awareness of the artist’s role in the contemporary cultural context. The students discovered that the academic school and the modern art market are not opposing phenomena but interact within a shared field of values, shaping new directions for the development of Ukrainian art. The exhibition became not only an educational experience but also a source of creative inspiration and personal reflection on artistic heritage as a living platform for new ideas and artistic experimentation.

Be inspired!  Dream!  Create!
