WHAT IS A TIMED AUCTION?

A timed auction is automated, and takes place solely online. The bidding for each lot is opened at a predetermined level at a set time and stays open over an extended period. A bidder’s identity is always kept confidential during the auction. In this timed auction, bidding will begin at NOON EST on Monday, March 20th, and sales will begin to close incrementally at 12:00 NOON EST on Sunday, April 2, beginning with Lot #100 and running through Lot #498, which represents the end of the auction.

NEW “BUY NOW!” FEATURE

We are happy to continue to offer a “BUY NOW!” feature for this year’s Auction! A “Buy Now” option will be available for all Silent Auction lots during the timed online Silent Auction on Bidsquare, beginning on Monday, March 20th at 12:00pm EST via massartauction.org/bid. The “Buy Now” option will be removed at 12:00pm EST on Friday, March 31st (48 hours before the close of the Silent Auction). During this time, any Silent Auction lot may be purchased outright by paying 150% of its stated value. Artwork may be purchased by clicking “Buy Now” on a selected lot on Bidsquare and remitting payment of the issued invoice immediately. If payment is not received by Friday, March 31st at 12:00pm EST, the buyer will lose claim of the artwork, and it will become available for bidding during the last 48 hours of the Silent Auction.
