Last Call 2020 Fine Art Auction
​Auction has ended! Thank you for your support. Enjoy your artworks!
​In May 2018, the Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts was one of 18 Texas museums invited to receive works gifted by the Blanton Museum of Art, Austin, Texas, from The Contemporary Austin Collection. The Pearl is grateful to have received generous gifts of art from the collections of Linda Braden and Russell Braden. Due to space limitations, the museum is not able to keep all of the artworks. Items shown below are the remaining pieces being offered for Last Call 2020 Auction.

​All of the proceeds from the sale of these distinctive artworks will further enable the Pearl Fincher MFA to bring exceptional fine art exhibitions and outstanding art education to the Northwest Houston Community.
​
