Our 2026 August Auction is now over and we have so much wonderful news to report. First of all we started Friday with 510 lots waiting to be sold. Incredibly, 506 of those went home with new collectors. Yes, that is correct. For both sessions, we only have four unsold lots, a unbelievable sell through rate of 99.4%

Secondly, we did $3.2 million on the two days, making 2026 our best online sale to date.

Pictured here is one of the highlights of the weekend. This is lot 323, Ed Mell's painting Evening Storm (22 x 22"). Now, we have achieved some record prices for Mell's work lately and we estimated this one at $35,000-$45,000. Well, when the dust finally settled, the painting sold for $84,000!
