LOS ANGELES, CALIF., UNITED STATES, October 23, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Los Angeles - Continuing the success of its inaugural auction at Andrew Jones Auctions, the sustainable living and budget friendly DTLA Collections and Estates auction held on October 21 drew a diverse and enthusiastic crowd in the room and online achieving a sell through rate of 95%. The beautifully appointed gallery just a few blocks northeast of USC in downtown greeted clients like VIP’s as they enjoyed coffee, muffins and a complimentary lunch while shopping the varied offerings to suit every taste and pocket. There were some deals and steals to be had, but the sale also achieved impressive prices. A German Expressionist painting of factory workers by Anton “Toni” Wolter, 1879-1929 sold for $1,060 and an Italian School painting of a Venice canal at night realized $2,250.
