Attention time travelers and antiquities collectors: No boarding pass is required for Artemis Gallery’s May 21 journey to past civilizations. All that’s required is an Internet connection and you’ll soon be browsing a fascinating auction catalog filled with more than 400 choice Classical, Near Eastern and Far Eastern antiquities; plus Pre-Columbian and ethnographic art. In addition to bidding online, participants may bid absentee or by phone, always with an absolute assurance that each item is authentic and legal to purchase. In the case of African tribal art, Artemis Gallery also guarantees that the objects were originally used in ceremonies or ritual events, as opposed to being contemporary pieces that were crafted for the tourist trade. A certificate of authenticity ships with each auction purchase. Precious metals will be presented in a variety of forms, including decorative and monetary.
