Mixed Media Art
Auctions
Mixed media art auctions have a lot to offer. Today I
found several seriolithographs. I liked the colors that
the Polish artist Zamy Steynovitz used.
The fun part of mixed media art auctions is that you just
never know what you’ll find. I found a pebble art piece
from the 1960’s that featured a bare-chested chariot driver
cracking a whip. The piece also had three horses.
The medium of pebbles was very interesting.
Another interesting find while I was looking through mixed
media art auctions was a mirrored wall hanging that represents
the Manhattan skyline. This piece was made before the
destruction of the World Trade Center buildings and they are
represented in the piece.
Sometimes the medium used in mixed media art is the same as
other categories of art. I found a nice acrylic painting
in a mixed media art auction that was unusual because of its
subject. The artist painted a red sea dragon with a
lovely woman. I learned that the artist was influenced by
Salvador Dali, HP Lovecraft and his love of the game Dungeons
and Dragons.
I found a really pretty 3-D art collage shadowbox while I
was looking through the mixed media art auctions. The
title of the piece was True Confessions of a Mermaid Gone
Bad. The piece was listed as professionally framed art
with glass in yellow stained wood.
Mixed media art auctions bring so many different artistic
styles to light. I found a Scandinavian inspired design
of two peacocks on a hand stitched wall hanging. The
piece was surrounded by a decorative border and the frame was
reported to be in great condition.
Sometimes the mixed media art auctions include artistic
things like hand made cards. I found an artist that lists
auctions of greeting card collages. The ones that I was
looking at used vintage images, ink and extremely decorative
paper.
There was an item of art that came up in my searches of
mixed media art auctions that I really liked. It was
listed as a beautiful abstract tin art. It was actually
quite impressive and was listed as measuring two feet by two
and a half feet. I think this would actually look great
on my mother-in-law’s wall.
So many of the paintings I found listed in the mixed media
art auctions were just unusual versions of mainstream
subjects. I have found so many art auctions with poppies
painted on canvas, but today I found a white poppy painted in
oil with a brilliant emerald green background. It was
very striking and I think that the contemporary feel to this
piece came across very well.
I had never considered vintage maps to be art before I found
them in the mixed media art auctions. I guess when a map
becomes antique and is no longer useful for its original
intended purpose, it can become art. I found a listing
for battle maps that was very intriguing. This map would
look good framed and displayed with other war related
memorabilia.
Mixed media art auctions really do have a lot of different
kinds of art represented. I found an artist with items
listed whose medium is purses. She makes purses from
cigar boxes and solders a handle and various embellishments on
the side. The purses are really quite delightful.
