Skinner Winner

In night of haphazard online auction house hunting (a welcomed distraction from the Monday Night Football humming in the background) I came across Skinner Auctions and Appraisers. Holy auction house heaven! Their September 11th auction of American & European Paintings & Prints had me basically drooling over my keyboard. I have a few items in mind for something on the horizon, but for now I will give you all a little peek inside this Boston gem.
