Last weekend’s Monotype Marathon Auction Party was a smashing success.  The gallery was packed to the rafters with friends, family, fans, and art lovers from near and far. The evening began with the San Jose Jazz Society’s Youth Ensemble entertaining us with an incredible repetoire of smooth jazz tunes that wafted through the galleries and carried on throughout the evening.  A big shout out to  Yuma, his trio mates and Geoff Roach at the SJ Jazz Society.

It was hot outside but calm and cool inside until the auction lots started to close. Then all bets were on and things heated up inside.   Prints flew off the wall, bidding wars erupted, arbitors were run ragged, and the crowd cheered.
