GLOUCESTER, Mass. (PRWEB) October 12, 2018 -- Kaminski Auctions presents the fine art collection of William H. Trayes Jr. (1928-2018) in a special auction on Saturday, October 27, 2018, at 10:00 AM EST to be held at the North Shore Art Association at 11 Pirates Lane, Gloucester, Massachusetts.

Bill and his wife of 63 years, Roswitha, were passionate collectors of the art of Rockport, Gloucester, and Cape Ann. Bill's knowledge of art and art history was vast, and the pair traveled to auction houses and art galleries throughout the Northeast in pursuit of their beloved Cape Ann artists. They were frequent visitors to the Kaminski Auction gallery and were often seated in the front rows bidding on another acquisition for their collection.

Bill was an active member of the Rockport Art Association, the Cape Ann Museum, North Shore Art Association and Montserrat College of Art. He and Rowintha founded what is now, the Waldorf School at Moraine Farm in Beverly, Massachusetts.

'Gloucester Drying Racks' bears a label from the Bernard Danenberg Galleries New York City, both are estimated at $15,000-$25,000.
