ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – After a hiatus of more than three years, Myers Fine Art will return to the auction spotlight on April 30 with a 459-lot auction that bears all the hallmarks of their signature style. Bidders can look forward to seeing a high-quality, estate-fresh selection of scrupulously researched artworks with impeccable provenance. Each and every item has been personally curated by Myers’ owners Mike Myers and Mary Dowd, whose combined decades of experience in the fine art sector serve as the basis for auction catalogs whose scholarly descriptions are both lauded and trusted throughout the art world.
After their last sale in 2019, Myers and Dowd set out on their traditional postsale sabbatical to the Northeast, in particular to the east end of Long Island. “Unfortunately, the pandemic followed,” Dowd said. “We felt the only responsible thing to do was to hold off on any further gallery sales until we could be sure it was safe to resume our operation.”
