The Hardman Collection Sells Spectre Abstract Art for $11.3M in a Landmark Acquisition by Saudi Capital Group



The Hardman Collection proudly announces the landmark sale of Spectre, an original Abstract Vein masterpiece by internationally recognized artist and luxury designer James Lee Hardman Jr., for $11.3 million. The acquisition was made by Saudi Capital Group, marking one of the highest recorded sales for a contemporary abstract work in 2025.

Spectre, a striking exploration of motion, energy, and dimensional contrast, represents the pinnacle of Hardman’s celebrated Abstract Vein style—an artistic signature defined by intricate fractures, luminous layering, and emotional depth. The piece has quickly become a coveted highlight within the global fine art community, praised for its dynamic structure and powerful visual narrative.

James Lee Hardman Jr., founder of The Hardman Collection, is known not only for his groundbreaking art but also for his impact on the luxury market. He is the visionary designer behind the Gudalii Baguette, regarded worldwide as one of the top high-luxury timepiece creations. His multidisciplinary mastery—spanning fine art, luxury design, and contemporary innovation—has earned him global acclaim and a dedicated collector base.

Saudi Capital Group noted that the acquisition of the Spectre represents a major addition to their expanding fine art investment holdings. The piece is expected to be installed into the group’s private collection.

This record-setting sale reinforces The Hardman Collection’s position as a leading force in modern abstract art and solidifies James Lee Hardman Jr.’s status as one of the premier creative visionaries of his generation.
