Marking a year of operations this month, ANNEXE is holding two new sales, WINGS: A Charity Auction for Singapore Red Cross and Annexe #04, coinciding with Singapore Art Week 2026. Both sales opened on 21 January, and Annexe #04 will close on 1 February, while WINGS will close a week later, on 8 February. 

Through 2025, the auction platform has held nine online auction sales, including two dedicated charity sales. ANNEXE has welcomed close to 500 registrants so far, and collaborated with both institutions and collectors to present its sales. Wang Zineng, Founder, ANNEXE, says “In the past year, we’re honoured to have served institutions like the Children’s Museum Singapore to named private collectors in both single-owner and various-owners sales.” He adds, “The emphasis is always placed on putting together thematic and tightly curated sales. Every lot accepted in our sales bears inherent cultural and artistic quality.”

To start off 2026, ANNEXE is further committing to raising funds for charity, starting with WINGS: A Charity Auction for Singapore Red Cross, in collaboration with Singapore artist Eunice Yeo, who is also the founder of the not-for-profit organisation, Peace of Art. In a first for ANNEXE, no buyer’s premium will be applicable on the winning bids for WINGS, effectively expanding the auction platform’s collaborative role to fundraise for charitable causes. 

WINGS is a transfigurable artwork by Yeo, where upcycled glass fragments and reclaimed crystal pieces are meticulously applied onto steel structures to create four wings in bright hues of blue, green, yellow, pink, orange and silver. These wings are conceived to be arranged with the others in various permutations, which the artist has individually imagined and titled. WINGS is on display at Sands Expo & Convention Centre, where it is presented as Horizon, measuring 350 by 280 by 40cm, in an expansive fan-like arrangement. 

Speaking about the genesis of the artwork, Yeo says, “WINGS was inspired by natural wing structures and cellular networks, systems that are fragile yet strong, and that allow light, life, and movement to pass through.” Elaborating on the materials used, she says, “Built from glass fragments and steel, the work explores how lightness and strength coexist. For me, it’s an expression of endurance and openness, where the visible fractures are part of the work’s own capacity to hold light and meaning.”

Collaborating with an auction platform for the first time was a considered decision. “My conversations with the ANNEXE team were thoughtful and rigorous,” Yeo explains. “Their approach to valuing WINGS was discerning and thorough, grounded in a deep understanding of material, scale, and artistic intent.” 

For the auction, WINGS is offered as four separate, individual lots: Flourish, Inflection, Seraph and Quill. 100% of the winning bid amount for each lot goes to the Singapore Red Cross as a donation, to benefit children in need through its Young Hearts Programme. “WINGS was built with purpose from its earliest collective phase, long before its final form existed,” says Yeo. “Offered in support of vulnerable children from Singapore Red Cross, the work reflects my belief that education and mentorship, like wing venation, which inspired the structure of the work, are the fragile but essential structures that allow dreams to take flight.”
