About Us

We at Barridoff seek out and find compelling, beautiful, relevant works of art. For us, it’s never just another auction. It’s an opportunity to help buyers and sellers of fine art realize their dreams by establishing that special connection in their appreciation of fine art.

Barridoff was established in the mid 1970’s in Portland, Maine initially as an art and antiques gallery, and in the late 1970’s shedding the gallery and antiques to focus solely on fine art auctions alone. Barridoff quickly became known nationwide and beyond in the auction world as a leader in fine art sales and was the first auction house in Maine to specialize exclusively in the auctioning of fine art. This allowed Barridoff to be more selective and put on the highest quality auction possible, selling to galleries, collectors and institutions worldwide. Barridoff has been featured on major networks such as NBC, CBS, and PBS.

Barridoff auctions feature Old Master, American, European, Russian, Asian, Modernist, and contemporary works, with works by Maine artists, locations and themes a specialty. We pride ourselves in providing an exceptional auction experience at our facility at 312 Gannett Drive in South Portland, Maine. We do our best to make both the buying and selling process as easy as possible for our clients. We currently host two live fine art auctions a year as well as a variety of discovery, online, estate and special auctions in between. We are always looking for pieces of art to consider for our next auction, so please do not hesitate to contact us. Stay tuned to our website and our emails for upcoming auctions and sales opportunities.
