Exceptional paintings by Jose Arpa; several works by Julian Onderdonk; and works by early Dallas painter and teacher, Frank Reaugh are among the highlights of this year’s auction. Strong examples of midcentury modern works by Seymour Fogel, Jennie Haddad, and Robert Preusse are also featured in the virtual auction, along with some rare pieces by Dallas Nine artist Perry Nichols.

The 2020 Fall Texas Art Auction will take place without a live audience, with all sales conducted via a live video feed. Louis Murad of Murad Auctioneers (TXS 13362) is in charge of the auction. Live traditional phone bidding, absentee bidding, and live online bidding will be available through Live Auctioneers. An option of bidding through NextLot has been added this year.
