First,timberland, an art auction is a pleasant, relaxing, and classy way to spend an hour or two during a day at sea, which is when such events are typically held. Attending an auction is free, there is no obligation to buy and the auctioneers put attendees under no pressure to do so, and complimentary champagne is usually served. Free prints are often given to all registered attendees and even more valuable pieces are generally raffled off to one or two lucky winners.

“I'd guess that all cruise ships sell more art per capita than any art gallery, with few exceptions,tory burch women shoes,” Varzos says.
“Many people spend money to purchase memorabilia from their cruises and buying art onboard a cruise ship is a good way to collect something that will always remind you of your cruise,” says Tommy Varzos of ArtLover.org, a professional auctioneer with 30 years experience who has conducted thousands of auctions for numerous galleries both on land and at sea.
Second, an art auction can be an educational and edifying experience and provide a crash course in auction etiquette and procedure; it can be kind of fun to know what is going on when you see clips from auctions on the news or in movies. And onboard art auctioneers tend to be smart, knowledgeable about not just the pieces in their shipboard galleries but about art in general, and both approachable and amenable to chatting and answering questions before and after the auctions. Learning what a giclée is, what terms like “signed in the block” mean, and being able to identify a Dali or a Max or know the difference between Monet and Manet are things that will serve you well in your life as a sophisticated person.
One of things I most enjoy doing on a cruise is attending the onboard art auctions and, as much fun as they are I never cease to be surprised at how few people frequently turn out for these events. Even if it is the sort of thing you would never do at home (I never would), however, there a number of reasons you should consider sitting in on a shipboard art auction while you are on a cruise.
Suffice it to say, many people have responded well to the idea of onboard art auctions and have expanded or even established their personal collections at them.
Such pieces, Varzos emphasizes, are “not something to buy for the value of an investment, if one defines an investment as something that will bring monetary gain.” (That said, a half dozen pieces I purchased at onboard auctions more than a decade ago have appreciated nicely at least far as their appraised value goes,louis vuitton handbags, although there is no telling what would happen if I actually tried to sell them.)
Cruise lines that have featured onboard art auctions include Azamara,tory burch sale, Celebrity, Princess, and Royal Caribbean, and there are a number of others that do as well.
Finally, an onboard art auction can be a great way to acquire a memento of your cruise.
