FORT COLLINS, COLORADO…
When people hear the words “art auction,” saving a lot of money isn’t necessarily the first thought that comes to mind. Attendees of the art auction at DirectBuy of Northern Colorado recently experienced otherwise, with members and guests saving more than $4,400 on artwork.
West End Publishing conducted the live auction on Friday, August 20, 2010 featured 300+ pieces of art. West End Publishing is one of the fastest growing art publishers in the art world today, distributing and representing the artwork of internationally renowned artists such as Duaiv, Gary Benfield, Paula McArdle, and Sir Winston Churchill Fine Art Collection. Fifty DirectBuy of Northern Colorado members and their guests were in attendance.
“Though I’ve never been to Sotheby’s, our art auction had quite a bit of its own excitement and our guests really did get into the spirit of the event,” said Patty Klopfenstein, owner of DirectBuy of Northern Colorado. “Besides being shrewd art buyers and saving more than $4,000, they also took advantage of the other saving opportunities.”
The art auction included a number of raffle giveaways for pieces of artwork and framing. In total, guests who attended this event took home more than $9,500 in free raffle giveaways. In addition to the raffle giveaways, attendees also received a discount on framing for the artwork purchased, pushing the free giveaways to more than $10,000.
“Based on the success of this event, I can certainly see us hosting another art auction in the not-so-distant future,” added Klopfenstein.
