Collection of Arthur Gross Day 1 & 2

Alaska Premier Auctions & Appraisals is pleased to present the Collection of Arthur Gross, Part 1 & Part 2 Bid Online Now At: https://bid.alaskapremierauctions.com/ui/auctions/122804 https://bid.alaskapremierauctions.com/ui/auctions/122805 This LIVE-ONLINE simulcast sale differs from our typical online 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 and audio broadcast and begin clerking the sale in real-time, taking competing bids from both our auction platform and third-party national auction platform partners from other bidders around the world. If you are unable to bid in real-time during the online broadcast sale, PLEASE make sure to leave your max bids ahead of time to avoid missing out on this fantastic 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 history, and more! While attending college at Arizona State University, Mr. Gross started his career as a bespoke travel agent. He became quickly regarded as one of the best in the business, with a particular interest in Alaska. Over the past 40 years, his lifestyle has centered around constant trips around the globe, accumulating millions of miles flown and visiting Alaska hundreds of times. Among his favorite locations to visit were St. Lawrence Island and Nome, from which he curated a fine collection of ivory carvings, basketry, scrimshaw, and exceptional museum-quality artifacts, nearly all of which were purchased directly from local community members. This auction, held over the span of two days due to the quantity of material within, features his entire lifelong collection and is one you won't want to miss. Day one highlights include an ancient walrus skull, several complete scrimshaw walrus mounts, hundreds of ivory carvings, scrimshaw works, fine dolls, grass baskets, baleen baskets, and more. Everything opens at $5 and is being sold without reserve. We hope you can join us for an unforgettable auction experience on June 28th & June 29th.
