Hearne Southern Auction House as an institution was founded by a family that committed itself initially to art education.
Hearne Southern Auction House was founded by Archie Hearne who has established a reputation in the art world for trust, integrity and business ethics.
The development of the auction business was undertaken to maintain a competitive edge in selling art, and continuing to propagate the notion that art is an essential part of our existence.
Art is not a luxury as many people think - It is a necessity. It documents history - to educate people and stores knowledge for generations to come ~Samella Lewis, PhD
Hearne Southern Auction House is committed to being a socially responsible entity. To this end we donate a percentage of our profits to non-profit educational institutions.
