As we near the end of 2023 our family here at The Fine Art Auction wants to give a gracious thanks to you, our passionate, valued Collectors! As we look back on 2023, we were very proud to help bring you some memorable moments!
Super Global Artist KeF! Unveiling his art for An Evening with Andy Taylor, Robert Plant & Special Guests alongside Richard English and Lucy Cowley from The Fine Art Auction
Who can forget the year it was for Global Super Star Kef! From his record
setting piece “Saturday Night at the SoHo House Palladium”, on stage with none other than Robert Plant
of Led Zeppelin and Andy Taylor from Duran Duran, all for the benefit of the Cancer Awareness Trust. To
his emotionally charged “Heart of Harmony” that helped raise valuable funds for Doctors on the front
lines of Ukraine. Your passion helped raise tens of thousands of dollars for these two valuable causes.
KeF!
Moreover, you enthusiastically embraced Kef’s first works with Ceramics, all the way from Italy. The
beautifully painted vases Sold out in record time and only a few Chargers remain.
We not only had two in-studio visits from Kef, but just last week we had the epic muralist Shane
Goudreau live on the show, just after his Art Basel exhibition and Fashion Show.
Filip Kulisev to The Fine Art Auction
As well this year, we introduced you to one of the greatest nature photographers working today, Filip Kulisev. His beautiful
landscapes from the Amazing Planet continue to amaze you, our Collectors. To say nothing about additional amazing works from Zero Gradient, Lisa Mee, Wayne Ensrud, Karl Sriker, Josh Mayhem and the French Academy Artists, Patrick Abraham, Christine Oberthur and Martine Delaleuf. These names of the contemporary artists that we feature on the Fine Art Auction only scratch the surface of those works that we presented and will continue to introduce you to in the future.

We can look back at some other amazing Master works that fell to the hammer in 2023, thanks to
your patronage. The Fine Art Auction family of Ray, Richard, Mitch and Lucy were able to
bring you highlights like the first time 2nd state Degas bronzes being auctioned live on air!
Finally, for the past several years we’ve heard from many of you that you’d like to see more of
the rarest and most coveted, hand signed master prints – and we were able to accommodate
with hand signed works by Picasso, Dali, Chagall, Degas, Rockwell and Whistler!
Pablo Picasso – Toros en Vallauris 1955
This was the
first year in the history of the show we were able to present so many spectacular Master
Prints.
