Auction Description

Superb Fine & Decorative Arts by Wolfs Gallery

After decades as an auction house and the last decade as a gallery, I am tucking in our horns and changing our business model by dramatically reducing inventory and going forward with only a modest number of artworks.

To get small fast and efficiently, we have created a very real auction of some 500 lots, online, estimated conservatively and available at a fraction of their value (the opening bid).

Art buyers will benefit from our hard work and connoisseurship, having created a large collection of excellent artworks, from Old Masters to Modern; Antique and Decorative Arts buyers will be tempted by our stately inventory, carefully selected over time.  

I sincerely invite you to take advantage of this once in my lifetime opportunity!
