MARLIN ART INC

Business Services > Auctions

Founded in 1969 by Sol & Linda Adams, Marlin Art began in the Adams' home basement. In its first year, Marlin Art went on to conduct 60 fundraising art auctions. In 1976, Marlin Art found its way out of the Adams' home and into an 1800 square foot office and warehouse facility. With 5 full time employees in place, Marlin Art continued its growth and incorporated its own framing division increasing the staff to 14. In 1982, the company again outgrew its facilities and moved all operations to its current home in Deer Park, Long Island, New York. Years of quality service and increased production have required the company to expand its current home base time and again to over 23,000 square feet.

​

Since its founding, Marlin Art's continued leadership in the fundraising art auction industry has enabled it to join forces with many one-time competitors and strengthen its constant quest to add value to the non-profit sector's fundraising efforts. The Art Guild Gallery, Fogel Fine Arts and National Art have come on board and are now under the Marlin Art banner. In addition, Marlin has had very formidable relations with many other industry art fundraisers such as Heisman Fine Arts Gallery of Ardmore PA (which became Avatar Fine Arts and then subsequently AJ Ross Auctions). Many times Marvin and Sylvia Heisman of Heisman Fine Art Gallery of Ardmore PA visited our Marlin corporate headquarters. These companies are no longer in existence however many of their employees have joined Marlin's team including Deidre (Dee) Tarr, and auctioneers Steve Little and Michael Melcher. Arin Ross works in conjunction with Marlin as well.



Since 1990, the company has swelled to include a team of experts on staff, and the combined experience of over 250 years in the fundraising art auction business!
