Art Poster Auctions
Art poster auctions are very popular. Owning great bits of art has gotten easier. A properly framed art poster can be as nice as owning a unique painting and it is less costly.
I have found many unusual art styles in art poster auctions. The most expensive art poster in the abstract style sold recently on eBay was a 1959 Picasso entitled Les Menines. The poster sold for $560.00.
There was a unique and authentic art poster auction recently in the art deco style that caught my eye. The poster was from 1961 and was for Breakfast at Tiffany. The poster sold for over three thousand dollars.
World's Fair art poster auctions seem to do very well. I saw an auction for the 1939 New York World's Fair that sold for more than fifteen hundred dollars. There was another art poster auction for the 1933 Chicago World's Fair that went for just under fifteen hundred dollars.
In the Asian art poster auction market, there seems to be some really odd things. I found a billboard that depicted McDonald's hamburgers invading Japan. The poster got fourteen bids from six different people and it closed at four hundred fifty five dollars.
In the category of Impressionist art poster auctions, I discovered one for the 2006 Jazz Festival in New Orleans that sold for over four hundred dollars. It was done by a Cajun artist named James Michalopulos and featured Fats Domino. The colors in the poster were brilliant.
I discovered that the class of Modern art posters seems to get the most auction listings. There's one art poster that keeps being re-listed because it just doesn't sell. The poster is from the Elvis movie Love Me Tender. Evidently the owner of this poster has established that it is worth one 1000 dollars and won't take less than that. He hasn't sold it yet, but I wish him luck.
There were another Modern art poster auctions that really did well in as much as I could tell. They were Greyhound travel posters. There were a couple of art poster auctions that sold recently. They were both created in the 1950's and both of the posters sold for around three hundred dollars each.
After researching so many art poster auctions, I have come to the conclusion that my moms and dads and grandparents ought to have collected every piece of advertising they ever stumbled on. They would be worth a small fortune by now!
The Sante Fe Railroad as a subject is prominently sold in art poster auctions. These should be highly collectable as they generate a lot of bids. If the art poster auction is for an old original poster of the Sante Fe Railroad, it will fetch upwards of four hundred dollars.
I discovered an art poster auction that was listed by the artist himself. He made a black ink drawing for the Pearl Jam concert in Rome in 1996. This original drawing was what the poster was comprised of.
Pop art poster auctions cover a lot of different themes. One of my favorites was a 7-up soda advertisement from 1970 that featured The Beatles' Yellow Submarine. The item didn't sell, but it was fun to watch.
In the style of Realism, art poster auctions abound. I discovered one that was an ad for United Airlines and depicted the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. This poster sold for over 100 fifty dollars.
The most interesting art poster auctions I discovered were for rock concerts. I love to the one listed for at 1956 Rolling Stones concert and there was another one for a Grateful Dead concert in Hawaii. They sold for a combined total of over seven 1000 dollars. The interest in these art poster auctions was overwhelming.
Advertising appears to be a big style in the art poster auctions that I checked. I discovered advertisements for just about everything. I liked the poster for Russian beer that was created in the late 1920's. It would look fantastic framed in my neighborhood bar. The buyer of this particular poster bought it for $475.00.
Concert posters are fun to peruse. Art poster auctions feature a lot of posters for concerts. I discovered one that was created by Jim Pollock for a Phish concert in 2000 in Hartford. I liked it, but I am not a devotee of Phish and the 300 dollars that it went for seemed a little pricey to me.
