Dec. 5 ArtistsinAuction online sale features fresh emerging art

NEW YORK – ArtistsinAuction, an online auction house for emerging artists, is joining forces with LiveAuctioneers.com to create a new way to buy and collect artwork from a group of carefully chosen artists from across the United States. Through the ArtistsinAuction online auction and catalog, collectors can buy from talented, up-and-coming artists at price points to suit any pocketbook.

ArtistsinAuction is currently showcasing works by more than 20 artists in a timed auction through LiveAuctioneers.com that will conclude on Dec. 5, 2009. Choose from all forms of media, from photography to painting, drawing to sculpture.

Featured artists include:

Photographer Billy Newman - Billy’s deep interest in the elements of nature that encompass our everyday lives is revealed through the digitally processed photographs of his subjects. Newman studied at Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, California.

Painter Alex White-Mazzarella - Alex urges viewers to explore and transcend their worlds and cultures through a conceptual imagination and his use of acrylics, oils, and charcoal, among other media, combining color, line and motion.

Fiber Artist Clairan Ferrono – Clairan creates fiber collages and drawings by piecing, fusing, stitching and quilting both commercial cloth and fabric she has dyed, painted, discharged or printed by hand. She is currently a full-time studio artist living in Chicago. Clairan relies on an emotional—rather than an intellectual—center for inspiration. Her spontaneous work style has earned her national and international recognition.

This year ArtistsinAuction has joined hands with New York City’s Children’s Museum of Art, one of the oldest children’s art museums in the world. A portion of the proceeds from all artwork sold during the December auction will be donated to the museum to help this fine institution further its goal of “celebrating the artist in every child.” For information on the Children’s Museum of Art, please visit http://www.cmany.org.

On Thursday, Nov. 19, ArtistsinAuction will host a launch party and preview featuring art from the Dec. 5 auction. Several top emerging artists will be in attendance to show their work and chat with guests over cocktails. Sponsored by Absolut, the reception will be held from 7-9 p.m. at Studio IMC, 7th Floor, 95 Morton St. (between Greenwich and Washington Streets), New York City 10014. It is open to all who have an interest in the work of up-and-coming artists. To RSVP the event, e-mail This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
