Gray’s solo artist auction of William Richards’ chromogenic color photographs was held yesterday in Cleveland at 11:00 am. The collection had an outstanding 100% sell through rate, setting a record for Gray’s Auctioneers. Bidding was accepted live, by telephone and online, with the majority of the sale going to the floor bidders. Richards’ unique prints were ahead of their time; his experiments with light and reflection began in his basement darkroom in the 1950s. Gray’s is now thrilled that Richards’ pieces will be seen and enjoyed by people throughout the world, as they are meant to be.

Following on the success of the Richards’ auction, Gray’s Fine Art, Furniture and Decorative Art takes place at their auction showrooms in Cleveland, Ohio on January 27th at 11:00 am. Preview begins January 21st; the full catalog is available online at graysauctioneers.com. Bidding is available live, in person, by telephone, and also online on the Gray’s Auctioneers website.
