SUMMARY:Collection of Arthur Gross Day 2
LOCATION:325 W Potter Dr\, Anchorage\, AK 99518\, US
DESCRIPTION:This LIVE-ONLINE simulcast sale differs from our typical onl
 ine auctions. Our live online sales offer pre-bidding until 
 the auction is scheduled to begin closing\, as usual. At this
  time\, however\, instead of bidding with a countdown timer as
  three lots close per minute\, we will go LIVE via a video an
 d audio broadcast and begin clerking the sale in real-time\, 
 taking competing bids from both our auction platform and thi
 rd-party national auction platform partners from other bidde
 rs around the world. If you are unable to bid in real-time d
 uring the online broadcast sale\, PLEASE make sure to leave y
 our max bids ahead of time to avoid missing out on this fant
 astic array of items. We are pleased to bring to market this
  massive and impressive one-owner collection of fine Alaska 
 Native carvings\, scrimshaw\, basketry\, artifacts\, natural his
 tory\, and more! While attending college at Arizona State Uni
 versity\, Mr. Gross started his career as a bespoke travel ag
 ent. He became quickly regarded as one of the best in the bu
 siness\, with a particular interest in Alaska. Over the past 
 40 years\, his lifestyle has centered around constant trips a
 round the globe\, accumulating millions of miles flown and v
 isiting Alaska hundreds of times. Among his favorite locatio
 ns to visit were St. Lawrence Island and Nome\, from which he
  curated a fine collection of ivory carvings\, basketry\, scri
 mshaw\, and exceptional museum-quality artifacts\, nearly all 
 of which were purchased directly from local community member
 s. This auction\, held over the span of two days due to the q
 uantity of material within\, features his entire lifelong col
 lection and is one you won't want to miss.  Day two highlig
 hts include Arthur's complete collection of Alaskan artifact
 s\, nearly all of which were acquired directly on St. Lawrenc
 e Island. Spanning Old Bering Sea to more recent 19th/early 
 20th-century historical times\, the material ranges from entr
 y-level to the best one could hope to acquire in the form of
  rare effigies and figures\, incised tools\, harpoon points an
 d transfer shafts\, oil lamps\, stone points\, and much more! E
 verything opens at $5 and is being sold without reserve. We 
 hope you can join us for an unforgettable auction experience
  on June 29th.
