Fine Arts Auction - Saturday, August 11

    Marlin Fine Auctions will be bringing to Randolph over 160 pieces of fine art ranging from original oil paintings, to hand signed limited edition works including lithographs, gels, and giclees, (pronounced gee-clays.)  Giclee prints on canvas have the ability to capture minute nuances in the original painting in which other processes fall short. The highlights are brighter, contrasts are better defined, and the colors are more exact than any comparable reproduction process. Recently at a gallery opening, ten people were asked to identify a $50,000 original oil painting and a giclee copy of the original - six of the ten were wrong.  

    All art work will be custom framed and range in price from sixty five dollars to several thousands of dollars.  Most bidding will start at 40-50% less than gallery prices, so there will be bargains to be had for the lucky bidders.  There are too many artists to give a full accounting but examples will include a Marc Chagall hand signed print, Borelli original oils, LeRoy Neiman hand signed lithographs, as well as hand signed, limited edition giclees by Robert Lui, Orlando Raphael and others.

    We've asked Marlin Auctions to also bring in artwork depicting bucolic, pastoral scenes of country life reminiscent of Vermont.

    Also up for auction will be fine hand blown glassware from Europe as well as local Vermont works of art, including sculpture and wood turnings.
