ACES Gallery focuses on curated items offered in a traditional “live” auction, The Gallery is designed to leverage our expertise and active experience in the art and collectibles markets to elevate the right items to the right buyers.

  • International Reach: Our gallery auctions are advertised in trade publications and to a global network of collectors, dealers, and art enthusiasts.

  • Transparency: The auction process, including bidding increments and final sale prices, is visible to all participants, fostering trust and confidence in the transaction.

  • Quick Sale: Auctions offer a relatively expedited sales process compared to other methods such as private sales or consignment to art galleries.

  • Potential for Higher Prices: The excitement of the auction environment can lead to world record prices. Competitive bidding may drive up the price of artworks and other rare objects beyond what they might fetch through other sales channels.
