Auctionata's First U.S.-Based American & European Fine Art Sale Attracts International Attention

NEW YORK, Dec. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Auctionata successfully completed its first American & European Fine Art auction from New York last night. The auction took place from 7 PM to 8:30 PM EST. Hosted by auctioneer Steve Brezzo and Zachary Hall, Auctionata's Head of Sale and Fine Art specialist, over 250 registered bidders from 25 countries participated, with active bidding surrounding many of the American landscape paintings.

"Curating this auction took me all around the world, with paintings from Paris to the canyons of the American west, ports of New England and snow-covered New York City," says Zachary Hall, Head of Sale and Fine Art specialist.
