All bidding will either start, or start and finish, online this year.  Here's why:

The live, in-person auction returns! 

After a two-year pause, our Live Auction event returns, with 52 items from our Auction catalog on the auction block.  These items are marked on this site with a special "LIVE" designation and bids can only be placed through Wednesday, November 2nd at 5 PM, EST. 

The final bidding on these items, conducted live by our auctioneer, Chris Barber, will take place at the Museum on Saturday, November 5th.  If you're unable to attend the live auction, you can leave a "high bid" amount online (no later than November 2nd, 5pm EST) and the auctioneer will represent your bid during the live event.

Bidding on the 160 remaining items will be uninterrupted, and you can bid on them online, 24/7, until Sunday, November 6th at 6pm, EST.

Artists retain reproduction rights and copyright to all auction lots.                                                                                                                ___________________________
