This online benefit auction has a 10% buyer’s premium, which will be added to the final hammer price of each sold work. The premium allows the Norton Museum or Art to retain more of the proceeds of the sale and offset administrative costs. Auction proceeds benefit the Norton's curatorial, learning, and community engagement programs.
