Rearranging things at home, and finding yourself wanting that perfect piece of art or furniture? You may be needing a great conversation starter, or perhaps that unique focal point for a room that you just haven't had the luck of finding at any shop or gallery. The auction is a good place to go! Why buy anything for the home at auction? For one, you'll find unique pieces that have been validated by its previous owner: a serious collector, an estate or a company who already saw the piece's value, and therefore, invested in it. Another good reason to venture out into the auction market is because it's environment-friendly. At auction, you're not buying anything new, giving the object of desire another chance and a second home. If you find yourself in this predicament, gavel&block's summer auction may very well be the place to start.

With the theme big, bold, blue, gavel&block's second quarter sale is specially curated for the season: bigpieces and bold colors that complement the blue summer sky. In the Philippines, this is also theseason of blooms and fiestas, and what more to accentuate the vibrant ambiance than by theworks of National Artists and modern masters, among the selection of paintings and fine artprints.
