SINCE 1998 : SELLING ART AND COLLECTIBLES :: WE BUY ORIGINAL ART

The Art World, Imagined Differently

My love for art, animation and comics comes from a long time ago. I grew up surrounded by family friends who worked as comic artists and that gave me the opportunity to watch fascinated how they drew day and night.
The best moment of the week was going to the local comic store and finding more about my favorite superheroes.
Everything changed in November 1996. I was walking down Market Street, San Francisco, when a Warner Bros. store caught my attention. I didn’t think twice and went in.
As I entered looking around, I saw what they call “Animation Art Gallery”, with
many art pieces that included most of Warner characters. The memories from all
the cartoons I had enjoyed as a child came back and I couldn’t resist to stare in
front of a huge framed artwork of Bugs Bunny joking and smiling.
While admiring the artworks, the person working at the store approached to me and we started a conversation. He was currently studying animation at University of California and told me about the uniqueness and singularity of each Animation art and Production cels

OUR FIRST GALLERY IN BARCELONA

After a couple hours of conversation (with the guy that was now studying animation in University of California), I bought my first piece of animation art, a limited edition cel of Duffy Duck created by the great Chuck Jones: “Nasty Canasta”.
At that moment, I couldn’t imagine what was going to happen between Mr. Jones and I, a few  years later.
Once I landed in Barcelona, I started studying carefully this special kind of art. For almost a year, I did all in my hand to become an expert, read all the books, and kept in touch with many animators and art departments of major studios around the world.
 
Finally, all the work paid off and a new gallery was born in 1998 being the first animation and comic art gallery in south Europe.
The company, called BAC ART (it was 2008 when the name was changed to Corner4art), was based in Barcelona and started selling animation art, comic art and original certified autographs and sports memorabilia (other of my passions).
More than twenty years later, the gallery still remains a family business as an art dealer where family members work proudly every day to continue being a reference for many collectors around the world.
We still do our work every day with collectors, galleries and auction houses around the world with the intention to do all the best to connect artists with art lovers and collectors.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. 

That’s our natural mission!
My name is Sergio Rincón and I’m here from the beginning.
