Rago Auctions is pleased to welcome the Metro Atlantic Chapter of the Professional Picture Framers' Association. Join us on Monday, April 21 for an introduction to auction and appraisal, followed by a walk-through of highlights from our April auction by two specialists.

"Rago is a leading U.S. auction house with $30 million in sales in 2013. Rago holds auctions of 20th / 21st century
design, fine art, decorative arts, furnishings, jewelry, militaria, coins and currency, Asian, historic ephemera, and ethnographic property. It offers valuations for personal property (from a single piece to collections and estates,) appraisals, estate services, exhibitions and lectures in house and online. Its specialists are experts with up-to-date market knowledge. A vital force in the international market and a world-class venue through which to buy and sell, Rago provides its clients a singular blend of global reach and personal service. Superior results invariably follow."




Christyl Cusworth will speak on the difference between conservation and restoration, the importance of proper use of treatment and materials in relation to value, the importance of climate control, the difference between a stretcher and a strainer, and how to properly put keys in the stretcher. She will also give examples of common damages and what determines the best course of treatment.
 
Spaces are going quickly! We have unlimited space for Rago Auctions but only 20 lucky folks may attend the second half at the Conservation Studio. Don't be disappointed, send your check in today! This is a first time for this meeting and is a FUN location! :thumb:
