Typically, we invite you to attend auctions at our Boston gallery where you may register to bid in person and participate in the live auction experience. However, due to the ongoing pandemic, there will be no bidders in the room on sale day this auction season. We offer several alternate bidding options.

You may bid live online during the auction through our website or our mobile app, and you can watch a live-stream of the auction on our website. You must register for the auction with your online account in advance of the sale.
