K n o w n f o r 1 8 t h - a n d 19th-century antiques and fine art, the 22-year-old Dallas Auction Gallery is among the most respected in the southwest. Says Hirsch: "We will continue to offer a great variety of antiques, but we also plan to feature more mid-century and contemporary sales, as the market is shifting towards those eras." The business will also continue selling Asian antiques, along with quarterly collections of estate jewelry and fine timepieces. "We don't aspire to be a typical auction house selling a broad range of items," Hirsch says. "Our objective is to organize auctions focused on distinctive discoveries in specific categories." Upcoming auctions include 20th Century Design, April 9; Ceramics, April 11; and Fine Jewelry and Timepieces, April 23. Follow auctions live and bid online at dallasauctiongallery.com.
