Buying at a non-profit auction can be a great way to pick up good art at under market prices. A nice selection of art is up for bid at the 5th annual BAMart Silent Auction running until this Monday, May 11. Bid online for works by 150+ artists. Some of my favorites: Carlo Ferraris, Eric Fertman, J. Fiber (Jane Fine and James Esber), Adia Millett, David Opdyke, Chris Piazza, John Rappleye, Fidel Sclavo, and Mary Temple.
My husband and I hold a non-profit auction for some of our pieces that haven't sold in market every year and i'm always surprised how much of it sells. Its a win-win, the buyers get great deals, and we donate all the earnings to charity (and get a tax write-off!).
