Auctions

Quarterly online auctions.

Four times a year the studio releases a small group of plein air studies and small-format oils by online auction. Sessions are hosted directly by Altafulla Studio — there is no third-party platform, no buyer's premium, and bidding is by registered bidders only.

  • Each sale includes a signed certificate of authenticity and a studio provenance card recording title, year, medium, dimensions and exhibition history.
  • The studio keeps a permanent record of each work and its owner, and re-issues documentation to verified owners on request.
