Live Auction | May 20
Visions Unveiled: A Global Collection
A globe-trotting, century-spanning live auction where American modernism meets European classicism, and fine art mingles with furniture and decorative objects from across the ages. From richly layered canvases by Todd Boppel and works by William Sommer and Frederick Judd Waugh, to a Picasso lithograph, Old World portraiture, and a vibrant collection of works by James Massena March — this sale has something to surprise every collector. Decorative arts, lighting, glass, ceramics, and textiles round out an offering that's eclectic, substantial, and just unpredictable enough to be dangerous.

Timed Auction | June 3rd
The Printed Page
Some collections are assembled. This one was lived in.
102 lots spanning centuries of scientific inquiry, military history, and literary achievement — all from the extraordinary estate of John A. Davidson, Jr. Rare editions, Civil War atlases, vintage slide rules, Darwin, Twain, Arctic exploration narratives, and more. Every lot tells a story of a mind that refused to stop asking questions.
A rare chance to own a piece of a legacy built on lifelong learning — and to support the APL of Lorain County and the Dittrick Museum.
Bid on the curiosity. Keep the knowledge alive.
