Modern Art
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I'd rank them HS > Modern Art > Medici > Ra!
- Knizia is a wizard at this. T&E, Babylonia, Ra, Modern Art, Amun Re….
- auction games like Modern Art or Ra
- Same group can play modern art and other auction games totally fine.
- Bought Modern Art and immediately all the groups I tried it with loved it. Even the people I least expected to like it were getting in character of pitching the "new up and coming artist" when they were selling paintings.
Cons
- I’ve come in distant last both times I’ve played Modern Art. I have such a hard time seeing smart moves, feeling out good bids, etc in this game. I probably need to give it more plays, but few games make me feel so stupid haha
- RA —> modern art (I don’t like it, but I don’t like Ra either)

It's been one of the greatest Eurogames since 1992. It's been in print for 23 years, in a gazillion different editions around the world. Still one of Reiner Knizia's masterpieces.
Oh yeah, Modern Art is awesome. I have had that same thing happen where I think a certain player is consistently over paying for art, but then they end up winning by a wide margin.
What an intriguing game indeed. Played at 5p. My wife won despite me thinking she was clearly overpaying for stuff? I bought maybe one painting the whole game. I usually dislike a game where I can't clearly indicate to others what good play looks like - but this is an exception. I literally can't wait to play this again.
