Art AUCTIONS HAVE BEEN AROUND FOREVER, but few will celebrate
thirty-five years of being in business. Established in 1984, SANTA
MONICA AUCTIONS WILL BE MOVING FROM THE B-7 gallery space at Bergamot
Station on MARCH 29TH, 2019. So don’t miss the MARCH 3RD, 2019
AUCTION. SANTA MONICA AUCTIONS WILL CONTINUE TO RUN ITS OFFICE IN THE
A-5 gallery and will still offer fine art AUCTIONS, but not as
frequently.
As always this year’s AUCTION WILL FEATURE WORKS BY
MID-career and established artists consisting of all mediums including
painting, photography, and more.
The difference between SANTA MONICA
AUCTIONS and other auction houses is it reaches out to everyday
people…not just seasoned collectors. The longtime business offers
easy access to high quality art at amazing prices. Many come to learn,
thinking prices for artwork are beyond their means, but end up bidding
and walk away with valuable works.
The rare Roy Lichtenstein print is receiving much attention. Other
famed works to be auctioned are: Robert Heinecken’s Recto/Verso
Portfolio (1989), Patrick Nagel’s Red Legs (1983), Jeff Koons Red
Balloon Dog, The Valley by Keith Haring and William S. Burroughs, The
Seven Deadly Sins William S. Burroughs, along with a Margaret Keane
painting, in its original frame from 1963…all set to be auctioned on
March 3rd.
Berman explains, “I did a show in San Francisco and Los Angeles
called ‘Very Appropriate’ which was a show of appropriation art,
and we did very well. Some of the pieces that were in that show will
be brought up in this auction.”
Berman had gathered artists such as Gregg Gibbs and Gary Palmer. Gibbs
created his own interpretations of Andy Warhol’s the Brillo Boxes,
as well as Leonardo da Vinci’s Peace Christ and others. Palmer paid
tribute to Banksy’s famed girl with the balloon shredded
painting.
The general public is encouraged to participate. Come to the gallery
prior to the event (on view now) to see the art to be auction. Ask
questions, find out more about the process of buying and selling art.
Or just treat yourself to an amazing work of art.
If you are interested in collecting art, this will be a unique
opportunity. If you cannot attend, there will be online and phone live
bidding. The B-7 gallery will be open Tuesday through Saturday,
11am-6pm. It will remain open until 8pm on Saturday, March 2, 2019.
The catalog is continuously being updated.
