Company president and principal auctioneer, Jeffrey S. Evans, comments, “We are excited to bring such a strong group of fresh collections together for our April Fine & Decorative Arts Auction. Given the unique conditions created by the COVID-19 virus, we have had to make several adjustments to our sale procedures, and, consequently, we are offering several special incentives for bidders to bid remotely. What’s more, levels of online participation in our auctions have been expanding dramatically over the last decade, so we anticipate this new transition to exclusive remote bidding to be relatively seamless. As a firm, we have positioned ourselves to excel in the current environment because we have always posted detailed catalogue descriptions, professional photographs, and thorough condition reports for each lot. These are essential elements in establishing bidder confidence, and we take pride in the quality work that we do in this respect. We have an excellent sale lined up for April, and we plan to stay fully connected with our bidders nearby and around the world.”
