Upcoming Auctions of Interest - Francesco Giuseppe Casanova

Dear Readers,

Live auctions are always fascinating when you are stuffed jam-packed into a room at Christie's or Sotheby's. If you enjoy the electric atmosphere of a live auction then definitely you should try to follow the latest auction news and search for a reasonable target for your investment in art. However fidget at your own peril! The art of silent stillness can become excruciatingly difficult even without being able to articulate a scream.

A site that I love to watch myself is http://www.invaluable.com

Indeed the site is enjoyable and it is reliable and a fine way of browsing through art offerings without having to  sit in a stuffy room like a mannequin lest you bid the wrong lot! So sign up for the latest reports and offerings at invaluable.com. Is a rather capital idea if you just cannot stand the buzz of nerves of a live auction room.

This offering is part of a collection of offerings of fine art at the website - invaluable where paintings from the 15th - 19th centuries are open for bid:
