‘Tis the season to be buying art, because really, who needs another pair of cosy socks? Luckily for Berliners, two great opportunities for purchasing artworks by both established and emerging artists are available this month.
First, the KW Institute for Contemporary Art is holding an art lottery in January, and all proceeds go towards supporting the institution’s activities. The lots costs only 100 € each, and there are some 60 works to be won, by artists such as Olafur Eliasson, Monica Bonvicini, Helen Mirra, Thomas Rentmeister and many more.
Viewing of the works is possible through December 18, 2011, and then again on January 7 – 8, 2012. The official drawing will take place at KW on January 13, 2012.

If you don’t want to trust lady luck but rather make sure you get your hands on some quality artworks by young artists go to the DeJoode&Kamutzki auction on December 15. For their second auction, DeJoode&Kamutzki set their focus on young female artists, with an impressive roster that includes a number of international names as well as Berlin based artists, many of which were a part of the recent survey, Based in Berlin.
