Heading the new office for the fine art and antiques auction house is Jan Krane, a nationally recognized fine art expert and dealer with more than 20 years of experience.
“We have looked at expanding to the Pacific Northwest for a while,” said Redge Martin, Clars president. “We recognize this region as a sophisticated fine art and antiques community that is worthy of top-rate auction service. The current market has created an ideal time to be opening our satellite office. The decision was a result both of the improving economy once again making fine art and antiques a solid investment class and Clar’s earlier commitment to developing a huge online bidding platform has driven our global buying and selling market to new heights resulting in a number of record years and individual sales for our firm.”
