Gray’s Auctioneers: A Gateway to Global Art and Local Heritage

Gray’s began as a vision around a kitchen table in New York over twenty years ago. Deba Gray cut her teeth working at renowned auction houses including the global auction powerhouse Sotheby’s, and eventually decided to start her own business with her wife and business partner Serena Harragin. 

Today, nestled in the heart of Cleveland’s vibrant Edgewater neighborhood, Gray’s celebrates the intrigue of history and the thrill of discovery. After nearly two decades in the business, they’ve become a cornerstone of the Northeast Ohio antiques, collectibles, and fine arts communities.

Following the transition to online auctions, Gray’s has opened their doors to auction enthusiasts from over 50 countries. The digital shift has not only broadened their audience, but made the once daunting process of art collection engaging and accessible to everyone.

Gray’s commitment extends beyond the gavel, they see themselves as a sanctuary for items in need of a new chapter. Whether someone’s downsizing, or seeking a new home for a family heirloom, the team at Grays takes pride in helping to find new guardians for treasured art and valuables.

Their monthly auctions are a testament to the diverse offerings they curate. Alongside modern masters like Picasso, Dali, and Chagall, they also champion the vibrant contemporary art scene of Northeast Ohio. By featuring local artists like the late James Massena March, and Shirley Aley Campbell, they take pride in introducing Cleveland's hidden gems to a worldwide audience.

Each auction is an opportunity to partake in a legacy of culture and connection. Join Gray’s in their next monthly auction and see what you might discover.
