AUCTION REMINDER

Japanese and Chinese Prints

Dear friends of Japanese and Chinese prints

Auction # 147 with abstract and still life woodblock prints by contemporary Chinese printmaker Fang Limin will close in less than 30 hours, Sunday December 5 at 8:00 PM = 2:00 PM in New York on www.artelino.com/auction/catalog.asp?evt=167.

Although our Chinese print auctions are more like small chamber concerts compared to our "big band" Japanese events, we are very pleased and encouraged by your increasing purchases of modern Chinese prints. Bidding in the current Fang Limin auction beats our expectations.

For the lovers of Japanese prints, preview is now open on www.artelino.com/auction/catalog.asp?evt=169 for auction no. 148 with 135 lots of original Japanese print, e-hon and 8 Chinese "guest" prints.

We raised our shipment fees slightly by November 30. And by January 3, we will raise the buyers commission from currently 15% to 17%. The increase has become necessary to compensate for higher costs for security, risk- and quality management and the lower value of the dollar - our base currency.

The risks in online commerce and in worldwide logistics have risen sharply over the last years. In our view, amateur auction sites can no longer seriously assure the safety of your credit card or the integrity of an online auction. We have continuously invested money, effort and new ideas to assure that artelino keeps a leading position among online art auctions in quality, security and professionalism. We feel obliged towards you, our customers, to continue to do so.

Enjoy our web site. If you like what we do, please buy in our auctions.
