Who buys Maurice Braun paintings?
Braun's buyers are mostly collectors of California Impressionism and Early California painting, collectors with ties to San Diego, and institutions. They usually find his paintings through auction houses, specialist dealers or private sales.
Braun worked for more than thirty years in San Diego, and also painted in Yosemite, the Rocky Mountains, Texas, Connecticut and New England, as well as portraits and still lifes. So the right route to market depends on what you own. A dealer who knows the field can tell you whether your painting is best bought outright, consigned, or placed privately.
