December 2022 Premier Auction

Alaska Premier Auctions & Appraisals is pleased to present our latest auction! Welcome to the December 2022 Premier Live-Online Auction! This LIVE-ONLINE simulcast sale differs from our typical online auctions. Our live online sales offer pre-bidding up until the time the auction is scheduled to begin closing like usual. At this time, however, instead of bidding with a countdown timer as three lots close per minute, we will go LIVE via a video and audio broadcast and begin clerking the sale in real-time, taking competing bids from both our auction platform and third-party national auction platform partners from other bidders around the world. If you are unable to bid in real-time during the online broadcasted sale, PLEASE make sure to leave your max bids ahead of time to not avoid missing out on this fantastic array of items. This fantastic sale, totaling nearly 275 lots will be one to remember, and is just in time for finding true one of a kind treasures during this Holiday shopping season! Just a few of the many highlights in this auction include: Several large and important paintings of Alaskan interest and beyond with artist names to include Ace Powell, Adolf Jebens, Francis Henry Beaugureau, Claire Fejes, Harvey Goodale, Nicholas Coleman, David Mollett, Norman Lowell, James Belcher, Andrew Hemingway, Jim Knutson, Ray Sandberg, and more.
