The Great ART Anomaly
Works by popular contemporary artists are selling for dramatically more than those by America’s irrefutable masters. The paintings that resonate long after the expiration of every succeeding generation’s preferences are truly classic. A great opportunity exists for those who believe that time is the best arbiter of quality, and that classic is forever.

MIAMI ART WEEK 2025
Value Proposition | Be Transformative
House of Craven’s 2025 ART Week goals (December 02, 2025 - December 08, 2025) are to benefit galleries, artists, and social-impact organizations.
WHY | THE ART MARKET HAS CHANGED … Auction Houses and Galleries Are Working Together—Here's Why…
ART-market demand is all about access—if House of Craven can provide really great access to really transformative Art, then that works for all parties. Our mission is to provide the access and opportunity for emerging artists, local artist, art institutions, museums and corporate collectors throughout the world to be included in the 2025 Miami Art Week and be seen and discovered at our future ART Auction on December 11, 2025.
House of Craven can conduct private sales, at fixed prices, which can involve galleries and dealers. This mechanism is gradually becoming a larger part of our auction business, integrating private selling exhibitions and opportunities into our services. In doing so, House of Craven encourages our art specialists to engage our clients in both public auctions and private sales, dissolving the boundaries separating the two, while prioritizing the collector’s needs.
House of Craven can curate shows in galleries to build brand awareness. The gallery benefits from new visitors and potential collectors from around the world, as well as a portion of the sales.
In 2023, House of Craven partnered with ART Money. ART Money Interest Free enables you to enjoy the art you love today and pay over 10 monthly payments, interest-free, when purchasing from House of Craven. House of Craven pays a commission to ART Money, enabling the interest-free business model.
