Neue Auctions is a fresh start, full service online auction house specializing in fine art, antiques, jewelry and luxury accessories. Created through the recent collaboration of two of the most experienced arts leaders in the area, Neue Auctions springs to life through fortuitous timing and a desire for a new course in an age old business.
Neue Auctions will provide a bespoke experience for sellers and buyers, with all items presented fully guaranteed and vetted, and will combine regular online auctions with selected art exhibitions and educational opportunities.
Offering consignment services for single items or entire estates, Neue Auctions will also assist clients in the complicated process of settling estates and general downsizing, working with both private individuals, as well as trusts, estates, banks and attorneys. In addition, Neue Auctions will continue the long standing history and tradition of art collecting in Cleveland by bringing fine works of art to the market for sale, encouraging both the current and next generation of collectors.
