Towers-Perkins is excited to tap into the vast potential of buying and selling works on artnet Auctions, and is thrilled at the opportunity to offer works in a variety of categories and price points for both new and seasoned collectors alike.
Towers-Perkins previously served as a Post-War and contemporary art specialist at Paddle8 and as the head of the paintings department at a London auction house.
