Love It. Bid On It. Own It.
Bid to win early, or make it yours today at the Gallery Price!
Collector’s Choice Auctions by MacDonald Gallery offer a distinctive way to acquire original artwork. Place a competitive bid, win early by reaching a confidential winning amount, or purchase a painting immediately at its Gallery Price.
Win Early — Avoid the Bidding War!
Every painting has a confidential winning amount established before bidding begins. Be the first to reach that amount, and you win! The auction closes immediately, and the painting is yours.
You can increase your bid anytime, even when you’re already the highest bidder. Once you’ve won, no last-minute bidder can take the painting away.
Gallery Price — Buy It Now!
Love a painting and want to make sure it’s yours? The Gallery Price offers another way to acquire original artwork from MacDonald Gallery.
When a Gallery Price is displayed, simply select BUY IT NOW to purchase the painting at the stated price through our secure checkout.
Your purchase secures the painting and ends the auction. There’s no need to wait for the scheduled closing or compete with additional bidders.
You Can Still Win at Closing!
If the confidential winning amount isn’t reached and the painting remains available, you still have a chance to win!
At the scheduled closing, MacDonald Gallery carefully reviews the highest outstanding bid and seriously considers accepting it. We want our paintings to be enjoyed and appreciated, and we’re pleased to offer this additional opportunity to own one.
Bid With Confidence
Each auction runs for up to seven days, but you could own your favorite painting today!
Place your bid, follow the auction, and increase your offer whenever you wish. You may also secure an available painting immediately at its Gallery Price.
All bids remain active throughout the auction, subject to the painting’s availability and our Auction Terms, Conditions, and Bidder Agreement.
