Benny Oenardi Raharjo
Founder and President Director, Global Auction
From his early age to the present day, Benny has always been passionate about various forms of art, ranging from visual art to performance art. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Architecture from UNTAR, which eventually led to a career in interior design and architecture, as well as an MBA Degree from National University in San Diego, California. In 2003, he founded Masterpiece, which later inspired him to establish Heritage and Treasure Auction. Benny initiated an auction house with the goal of bringing the works of Indonesian masters, often auctioned abroad, back to collectors and art enthusiasts in Indonesia.
However, over time, he came to realize that art transcends language and nationality. After successfully organizing more than 200 auctions and exhibitions in Jakarta, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, and online, the company rebranded as Global Auction to expand and develop a broader presence in the art world, making art universally accessible and collectible. As the Founder and President Director of Global Auction for over 20 years, Benny continues to lead the company, drawing from his extensive experience and expertise in the global art market and auction house industry..
