From the spark of creativity to the culmination of an art exhibition
An upcoming art auction and exhibition, “The Collector Club,” will be put on by the prestigious Art Auction Center, the pre-eminent art auction house in Thailand. The Collector Club, an elite club for art enthusiasts and collectors, assists audiences in harmonizing their passion for art. View over 130 works of art by renowned artists.

EXPLORE THE FOUR INSPIRED UNIQUE PATHS OF ART COLLECTIONS In ‘The Collector Club’ auction and exhibition, attendees will discover the distinctive uniqueness of art collections inspired by history’s most prominent collectors.THE VISIONARY VALOR The Visionary Valor is inspired by the collecting approach of the American couple, Herbert and Dorothy Vogel. They proved to the world that art collecting is accessible to everyone, not just the wealthy. Their humble belief that even a modest budget can create one of the world’s most significant collections has been a source of inspiration for us. Embracing their philosophy, we have focused on acquiring contemporary art pieces that resonate with us, gradually building our collection within our means. As time passes, the works of emerging artists we have collected may ultimately become the masterpieces of established artists.
THE CIVILIZED COSMOPOLITE
The Civilized Cosmopolite is inspired by prominent American business figures such as the Rockefeller family and J. Paul Getty. These individuals not only supported the masterworks they admired but also became passionate about the rich, multicultural history, and civilizations they encountered in their quest for the world’s treasures. Their collections, diverse and extensive, have become valuable repositories of knowledge, inviting enthusiasts to delve into and study the proud history of art.
THE LEGENDARY LORD The Legendary Lord draws inspiration from the illustrious patrons of the art world, the House of Medici. This distinguished family, who once ruled Florence, was instrumental in supporting numerous artists across various disciplines. Their patronage was so influential that it transformed Florence
into the epicenter of the Renaissance, a period of profound artistic and scientific revival. The artists supported by the Medici family went on to achieve global fame, their names, and works now permanently etched in history.
THE ART AMOUR The Art Amour draws inspiration from the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, a distinguished art museum in Venice. This museum, once the private residence of an American woman with exceptional taste, embodies her unique approach to art collecting. She regarded her collection not merely as a repository of art but as the very essence of her life, seamlessly blending it into her daily routine. Each piece became a central element of various rooms, creating an enchanting, and delightful ambiance that harmonized with her lifestyle. This seamless integration of art and life captivated guests and visitors, leaving them enchanted by the unique environment she had crafted.
ENCOUNTER THE MASTERPIECE’The Collector Club’ Auction and Exhibition: More than 130 outstanding works have been selected, which not only reflect the artist’s individuality and their creative approach but also reflect an art aesthetic. The event will showcase notable pieces from the collection:Thawan Duchanee “Battle of Mara” (1994), oil and gold leaf on canvas”Thawan conveys the story through symbols of animals and humans. Through the artist’s unique style of painting, Thawan interprets religious beliefs as the main structure. Since it has a reputation, it is widely accepted as art. The work “Battle of Mara” demonstrates this approach. The image of the Buddha’s face adheres to the style of the Sukhothai period Buddha image, which serves as the image’s major focus. It portrays a sense of tranquility and an unwillingness to be scared by the nasty creatures that inflict havoc around mankind.”
Kitti Narod “Riding Nude” (2017), acrylic on canvas
“This piece is one of the earliest works, where artists add human characters into the canvas, later becoming the artist’s famous piece. Many of the figures in the works have distinct body colors that are evident in their individuality. Some of them follow the same path, while others strangely veer in the opposite direction, mirroring human society’s behavior. Kitti’s other distinctive style is his attention to the message delivered and the overall emotional impact of his work. More than being realistic according to anatomical principles, Kitti’s work immerses viewers in a universe were reality and fantasy blend seamlessly.”
Tang Chang “Alley in the Garden” (1986), poster painting on paper
“A recognizable perspective of the local canal, the artist utilized impressionist brushstrokes in the creation of this artwork. This piece is representative of Tang Chang’s documentation of Eastern communal life during that era. The artwork is semi-abstract. Chang’s work was held in prestigious museums before they acknowledged his skill and catapulted him to fame.”
Chakrabhand Posayakrit “Nude” (1961), Pastel on paper
“The earliest chalk paintings by Chakrabhand Posayakrit carry audience counter-clockwise to encounter a gorgeous woman who appears to have come from the world of literature. The artist precisely depicted the women in the image, capturing a sense of exploration and invention. The artist is departing from standard techniques. This is a rare, naked shot of Chakrabhand. It stems from a desire to discover a method that defies past limitations and allows for proficiency in all fields of artistic.”
Prakit (Jit) Buabusaya “Our Camp, Yamanaga” (circa 1940s), oil on board
“The artist Prakit, who crafted this piece while a scholarship student at Japan’s Tokyo Academy of Fine Arts during WWII, endured dread and grief as he watched death loom on the horizon, unable to return to his homeland. The era where paintings were brought to fire even wooden easels to get warm when hungry and freezing arrived in the threshing’s life. Consequently, this painting is a significant and uncommon artifact that will be around for a long time.”
Sompot Upa-in “Vietnamese Lady” (1962), oil on canvas
“The distinctive aesthetic of Sompot’s renowned artworks is influenced by a semi-casual artistic approach, particularly Cubism. Sompot skillfully portrays the Vietnamese Lady, employing innovative color combinations. Highlighting his ability to use artistic color, this is an uncommon depiction of an individual.”
Pratuang Emjaroen “Untitled / (1969), oil on canvas
“The artist’s early works included a distinctive sun-shaped signature which he derived from his outdoor experiences where he observed the vibrant sun rays illuminating his surroundings. This observation served as a catalyst for his creative prowess. Plentifully Pratuang’s unwavering devotion for nature is unyielding even in the face of the radiant brightness.”
Thawan Duchanee “The Dhammapada”, ballpoint pen on paper
‘The Dhammapada’ could be viewed as the most comprehensive summary of the Buddha’s teachings. Explain the Dhamma with analogies and similes. As if in a state of mind. Rigid muscular mass suggests resistance to negative thoughts. The artwork serves as a reminder to oneself on the importance of leaking from evil. Because if humans get more lethargic, our minds would become numb and buried in evil.”
Thawan Duchanee “Chalu Wilat Phairee”, oil on canvas”Thawan commonly uses black, red, and white to highlight his art pieces. But there’s something special about utilizing all three hues to create “Chalu Wilat Phairee” – the artpiece of the muscular physique; the muscle mass of the body flicking the brush depict a sense of dynamic motion.”
Natee Utarit “Parrhasius White Painting” (2007), Oil on canvas
“The paper that deceives the eye is a painting based on the ancient Greek fable of Parrhasius, the painter who duplicated reality through deception. Natee is a notion based on touch, vision, and illusion. It encourages the observer to connect imagination and reality through the appearance of images and profound sentiments in the subconscious and memory.”
Muebon “Retro Voyage” (2023), Acrylic, gouache and spray on linen”The work encourages exploration into unfamiliar territory. It exposes the universe’s immensity, intricacy, and beauty. The artworks depict embracing variety, which poses a challenge against prejudice. Inviting audiences to appreciate other points of view, enjoy the colors of different genders and listen to the cultures that coexist, including accepting new experiences. These are the beginnings of change and grow together. These beauty elements will facilitate humanity’s shift towards a collective future. Interacting with individuals from diverse races, cultures, and religious beliefs offers us distinct insights into the inherent magnificence of humanity as a collective entity.”
Suchao Sisganese “The Field”, oil on canvas
“Poverty, a gloomy atmosphere – these are the great materials Suchao uses in his paintings. His distinctive use of thick layers of paint frequently portrays the difficulties he faced throughout his life. On the contrary, this art pieces depicts a rice field in soft tones, making it appear tranquil. It’s like being a symbol of tiny happiness in Sucha ‘s sad life.”
