We are kicking off our two day auction event with a sale of prints by Ukiyo-e and Meiji artists. This sale will be held on Saturday, December 5, beginning at 11:00 am Chicago time, exclusively on the LiveAuctioneers Platform. We will add a link directly to the sale once it has been posted.
Our two day auction event continues on Sunday, December 6th, with a No Reserve Auction of Japanese Prints from all genres, and replaces our traditional Holiday Exhibition and Sale on our website. Expect a large selection of prints perfect for gift-giving or adding to your own collection. This auction will also be exclusively on the LiveAuctioneers Platform. We will add a link directly to the sale once it has been posted. (And of course, purchases from both days can be shipped together.)
Our New Year’s Resolution for 2020: Have a continuous offering of 20 prints and paintings, with at a 20% discount, during 2020. We made this New Year’s resolution pre-Covid, when we weren’t having auctions almost monthly. We will keep some prints discounted 20% in this exhibition, but may not always be at 20 prints.
Explore our inventory of hundreds of items ranging from Edo Period woodblocks to contemporary abstraction.
