RAA&M aNNUAL ART AUCTION 2025

SATURDAY, MAY 3, 2025 | 2:00 PM (EST) – Live Online Only

Historic American Artists – Highlighting Cape Ann School

Consignment Deadline: March 8, 2025 {more info}

Each year, this prestigious fundraising event attracts serious collectors from across the country, as well as those just starting an art collection. Held in the Hibbard Gallery of the Rockport Art Association & Museum (RAA&M), the auction features works by master Cape Ann artists of the past such as: Aldro T. Hibbard, Emile Gruppé, Anthony Thieme, Antonio Cirino, W. Lester Stevens, Jane Peterson, Frederick Mulhaupt, Harry A. Vincent, Max Kuehne, Frederick J. Waugh, Marguerite S. Pearson, Charles Paul Gruppé, Harrison Cady, Theresa Bernstein, Charles Vickery, Paul Strisik, Charles Movalli, and many more. Our auction specializes in Cape Ann art, but is not limited to this region and also includes works by numerous other prominent historic American artists.

The auction, now in its 40th year, began with a bequest by founding member, Antonio Cirino (1888-1983). Cirino left his artwork to the RAA&M with the stipulation that the art be auctioned to help support the organization. The auction quickly evolved to include other historic Cape Ann artists and has been the RAA&M’s major annual fundraising event ever since.

Join us online for the RAA&M Annual Art Auction on Saturday, May 3, 2025. Bidding will be available live online (with advance registration) or by submitting an in-house absentee bid directly with the RAA&M in advance. Please note: Our online bidder registration deadline is 24 hours prior to the auction.

Please read the RAA&M Auction Guidelines for our Conditions of Sale, Bid Increment Info, and Artwork Description Notes.
