Palm Springs, California, 28 June 2023 – Emmanuel Snitkovsky’s legacy will be exhibited and auctioned in Dubai beginning a day after the United Arab Emirates,(UAE) national holiday, beginning December 4. Some of Snitkovsky’s artwork in the past has been auctioned off at Southeby’s and Christie’s, two of the world’s top auction houses. This news has attracted a lot of attention as Snitkovsky’s collection is one of the great works of art of the 20th century and has few opportunities for auction. The art world is buzzing with excitement that the iconic Kidnapping of Europa will be put up for auction. The exhibition and auction will provide art lovers in Dubai with a rare opportunity to view and potentially acquire Snitkovsky’s rare artworks in person.

The sale of a series of artworks from the collection, including several paintings and a sculpture, was so rare that their sale attracted a great deal of attention from the art world. Remarkably, the vast amount of the proceeds from all the artworks sold will be used for reconstruction work in Ukraine. This act of kindness makes Snitkovsky’s art not only a cultural and artistic treasure but also a humanitarian mission.

Born in Ukraine in the 1930s, the Snitkovskys worked on magnificent public sculpture projects in the Soviet Union to commemorate the heroes who died in World War II. In 1978, the Snitkovskys left the Soviet Union for the United States and embarked on a new life in New York. During their New York years, Emmanuel and Janet achieved excellence in painting and sculpture and held many successful exhibitions, gaining a reputation not only in the United States but also in Europe.

The couple’s style of painting and sculpture has been described as a ‘Renaissance Revival’, subtly combining contemporary and classical subjects in a distinctively realistic style. The stylized elements of their work echo the artistic style of the American vernacular master Thomas Hart Benton, with hints of Sandro Botticelli, and the Snitkovskys’ superbly detailed work is both personal and commercially appealing.
