What
is art? Tolstoy wrote for hundreds of pages in an
attempt to answer that question. At National Book Auctions,
we consider it to be any of the aesthetic media other than
books and ephemera. We routinely offer catalogs rich in traditional
art forms such as paintings, drawings, posters, important
prints, film & photography, sculptures, ceramics, as well
as myriad other mixed media and new media pieces.
Our in-house experts are well versed in classic through modern
movements.

Art,
in a range of forms limited only to the human imagination,
has existed since the earliest days of civilization. Today,
much of our culture is devoted to the private and public pursuit
of artistic expression. In addition to landmark classics by
Renoir, Michelangelo, Picasso and the like, the world is filled
with competent and compelling productions by lesser known
but important artists. Sorting the valuable from the merely
interesting is an art in itself , with high stakes.

Whether
you are looking to bring an estate collection to market, offer
a cherished important piece for sale, or for some other reason
have art which is ready to be marketed, National Book Auctions
would be pleased to discuss your material.
