BOULDER, Colo. – Artemis Gallery Live.com will conduct its third international live auction on Saturday, Oct. 2. The sale will feature over 400 lots of classical antiquities, ancient and pre-Columbian art from around the world.

This promises to be our biggest live auction event to date,” said Teresa Dodge, owner and managing director of Artemis Gallery Ancient Art and Artemis Gallery Live. “Because of the large number of quality items we were able to obtain, this time the auction will be separated into two distinct sessions. The first session, beginning at 8 a.m. Pacific Time, features classical antiquities from Egypt, Greece, Italy, Rome, Egypt, the Middle East and the Far East.
