Bio: 

Milton Avery (1885–1965) was an American modern painter known for his use of simplified forms and harmonious color relationships that bridged American Impressionism and Abstract Expressionism. Born in Altmar, New York, Avery studied at the Connecticut League of Art Students before settling in New York City. His paintings often depict domestic interiors, landscapes, and portraits reduced to flat planes of color, emphasizing mood and composition over detail. A key influence on later color field painters such as Mark Rothko and Adolph Gottlieb, Avery’s work is recognized for its lyrical abstraction and its role in shaping mid-20th-century American modernism.

We offer in-house, fully insured shipping for the following categories:

  • 💍 Jewelry
  • 🪙 Coins

Each in-house shipment includes full insurance, a signature requirement, and a $10 handling fee added to your final shipping cost.

🏢 All Other Items → Shipped via UPS

For everything else, we partner with a trusted local UPS Store for professional packing and shipping. When your items are ready, UPS will send you an invoice directly for payment and shipment tracking.
