Its mission is to offer fine artworks for collectors with sophisticated aesthetics. The pieces come with no provenance, no guarantees and no pedigrees. They are, like the name states, 'In the Manner of.' The firm accepts cryptocurrency. "So many consignors have come to us with great paintings that were undocumented originals, tribute pieces or copies that we decided to feature them in their own auctions," said Bruce Wood, who founded the firm with partner William Janosco. "That's how this auction house was born." In the Manner Of is actively seeking artworks that are created in the style of, after or attributed to master artists. The firm encourages potential sellers who have been turned away from other auction houses because their artwork lacked provenance or did not fit perfectly into so-called "blue chip" auction houses to call (508) 533-6277 or send an e-mail to art@IntheMannerOf.com.
