This served to validate the authenticity and transparency associated with the Keno Brothers name and its collection of 40 vehicle offerings – reinforcing the brand's credibility as the Keno Brothers themselves segue from arts and furniture to fine automobiles -- while achieving more than $8.3m (including buyer's premium) in auction and post-auction private sales for the inaugural event, as guests enjoyed the museum-like ambiance and luxurious environment. According to Keith Martin, publisher of the venerable Sports Car Market, the entire evening at the Skylight in Clarkson Square Soho was first-rate from start to finish. Martin noted the many influential members of the collector car community present, including past winners of the prestigious Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, along with serious collectors from France, Germany, England and other countries. 'The Keno Brothers have shown serious intent to be players in a competitive market – with every indication that their artistic and elegant style will precede each upcoming new opportunity,' said Martin. Amidst a very full house with a 'gallery' emphasis, Keno Brothers Fine Automobile Auctions sought to break new ground in how an auction is presented -- utilizing a rich multi-media experience to tap the imagination of the packed house with roughly 1,500 attendees -- creating a first impression for the Keno brand that was defined by an elegant salon setting and the courage to explore new methodologies.
