The „Guardians of Time“ were developed by the artist Manfred Kielnhofer, who is sure that mankind is watched and protected by strange characters. The designer and photographer was always interested in the human being as model as well as a potencial source of danger to the mankind. 2006 he created the first „Guardian of Time“ to be part of the Skulpturenpark Artpark in Linz. The sculpture reminds us of a monk. The artist uses the human form as a tool, either on a canvas or in a sculpture. During the following years Kielnhofer put his time guardians in public places like in front of ancient castles, squares, old mines or in parks. They travelled to several countries and were part of many exhibitions. In his works of art Manfred Kielnhofer deals with the natural human desire for security. Thus his oeuvre reflects genuine exploration, consideration and discussion of current as well as historic moods and sensibilities of his social environment. The message is, that people should never forget that they are always watched by a power, that is stronger than mankind.

Koller Geneva is pleased to present at auction one of the most important collections of contemporary Aboriginal art worldwide. The auction will take place on 13 November in collaboration with „L’espace d’art Carry On“ the gallery of Arnaud Serval, who is one of the most long-standing and knowledgeable connoisseurs of indigenous Australian art. 125 lots representing the most diverse forms and techniques were selected for the auction. Consequently, the works to be offered at auction range from acrylics on canvas to sculptures and didgeridoos. Up to 1970 the art of the Aborigines was dedicated exclusively to ceremonial purposes and used for one-off occasions. Since then increasingly durable works have been produced, which narrate the story of the Aborigines.
Amongst the Geneva highlights are also two very decorative table lamps, made by Tiffany Studios, and several international Design pieces by Ron Arad, Gaetano Pesce and Elizabeth Garouste.

For further informations and highlights please check our department sites or the press release.
