The Art Auction hosted last week by Art by the Sea in the Margate Art Museum was a great success.
For an occasion like this, which was a first for the South Coast, the enthusiasm and lively bidding of the guests indicated the need for such events.

Due to this success, the art club plans to have more art auctions in the future, details of which will be made public later.
Guests and bidders were astonished with the quality of the artworks on auction and impressed with the reserve prices of the paintings.
No wonder, then, that the number of paintings which changed hands exceeded the expectations of the Art Club by some way.
