The Society of Illustrators is having its annual Student Scholarship Auction. All the paintings, sketches, and prints are donated by the artists, all of the proceeds are awarded to students during the Society's Scholarship exhibit. I'm reluctant to post about this auction since it is where I have bought most of my own collection...Promise you wont bid on my favorites!Preview: November 28 - December 4 • Auction: Monday, December 4
For those with deeper pockets, the Illustration House is holding it's fall auction. While I am not in a position to try my luck at the auction block, I still love to see the preview and attend the auction. Once sold, this work is unlikely to be on public display again.
Preview: Now - December 1 • Auction: December 2, 1:00 pm
Above: Gary Kelley's Art Out Loud painting will be on auction at the Society. Below: Mead Schaeffer on auction at the Illustration House. (This one breaks my heart...I so hope whoever buys this will keep it available for the world to see.)
