The Marlin Art Guarantee: Profits.

Marlin Art agrees, in a written contract, to pay your organization a specified cash amount OR a substantial percentage of the total gross, whichever is greater by auctions end. 

The Marlin Method

We design a custom program for each organization's particular taste and requirements.  Taking into consideration the interests and financial profile of each group, we offer art with opening bids from $55 to $10,000, with an average in the $75 to $450 range.  Opening bid prices are one-half to one-third of gallery prices on most items. 

Marlin provides substantial pre-auction services such as our special promotion package that includes handsome invitations, exciting posters, press releases, and advertisting copy.  We also supply a full range of auction services including catalogues with bidding numbers, receipts, and hardware to hang the art.
