The financial transaction that is the purchase and sales of things need not always be a mundane thing; it could turn out to be rather interesting if you are dealing in something that interests you, for instance, ‘art’. The buying and selling of art is often termed as ‘auction’. These auctions turn out be places of entertainment and recreation; so that is what makes a financial deal an interesting occupation.

The auctions are places where you get to socialize, party, entertain yourself and the same time either purchase or sell something extremely valuable. Here you get to see numerous art enthusiasts who come not just with the intention of buying or selling but also to have a look at and appreciate good work of art. Mark Borghi is also an art enthusiast who owns more than one fine arts gallery in New York. He showcases all kinds of works such as contemporary, abstract, pop art, etc.

Auctions are basically of three types, namely: Consignment, Mixed and Estate. Those that are held at the residence of an individual are of the estate types. The consignment auctions are organized at the place of business of an individual; while when the rent of a businessman is not paid, his things are often sold off at reasonable prices in order to redeem the unpaid rent – this is another kind of auction. The items of art are regularly found in all or any of the afore mentioned auctions as well.

The estate auction is the one in which the residential expensive art items are auctioned and such a one does not have any kind of reservations on any item. Reservation refers to a fixed minimum price for which an item is to be sold. Contrasting to this a consignment auction often has reserves attached to its artifacts and items of art. Hence, often there are remaining unsold items at a consignment auction while in an estate auction everything must be sold.

A mixed auction as the name suggests is a combination of both and hence accepts consignments as well as sells items of small estates. The consignment usually holds a weekly sale where the lowest bid is offered around the mid week.

Finding an art auction is not a tedious job at all, thanks to the internet. You can find everything online. So, for all the art enthusiasts who like to spend their time in knowing more about art there are two very interesting places to visit, an art auction or an art exhibition. The art auction helps you carry out business while enjoying the ambience of the high class; on the other hand an art exhibition helps you appreciate exclusive works of artists.

The gallery program held at Mark Borghi fine art gallery in New York, Palm Beach, and Bridgehampton are the ideal places for exhibition and appreciation of excellent contemporary, abstract and all other forms of fine arts. You can get to see the works of Jackson Pollock, Richard Prince, Andy Warhol and other famed artists. These programs have also hosted a wall sculpture and an exhibition with the message of women empowerment.

The world is suffering from the onslaught of harmful chemicals and toxins emitted by humans and factories and this is known as pollution. The whole eco-system is being threatened because of this pollution and living beings are facing threats to life. Animals and plants are suffering and it is very important for the people of the Earth to be educated and aware of what the primary causes of pollution are. They should immediately take note and engage in environmental friendly practices so that the world is saved and human beings can join hand with governments of nations to protect the planet.

The introduction of harmful chemicals into the environment is pollution. This makes the world unhealthy. The whole ecosystem is at threat as pollution creates havoc for all living beings on Earth. It is important for people on the Earth to be aware of the different types of pollution. There are agencies and bodies that are taking the onus of spreading the cause of saving the earth and curbing environmental pollution.

Sole reasons for environmental pollution

Jonathan Schrag is a Founding Partner at Hudson Strategic Energy and explains the prime reasons of environmental pollution. He says that when it comes to air pollution, you will find there is an emission of harmful chemicals and other pollutants in the environment. The chemicals that are released into the atmosphere pollute the atmosphere and make it very hard for you to breathe. This gives rise to many breathing issues. These chemicals are sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, chlorofluorocarbons and nitrogen oxides that are emitted by vehicles and industries. When these chemicals react to the sunlight, you will find smog in the air and this gives birth to a photochemical ozone layer. This layer is very harmful to the environment, he says.

The soil and water of the planet needs attention

The planet also suffers from soil and water contamination. The waste products are harm the river and the water bodies to a large extent. Livings and animals are dying due to the amount of pollutants that have hit the soil. Plants and water bodies are also being affected. Even fishes are dying to a large extent he says. It is very important for human beings to be responsible as they are the only ones who can take up the cause and protect the environment he says.

The need for awareness

Humans should be aware of the harmful causes and effects of environmental pollution, climate change and global warming. You need to be responsible and work with governments he says. The USA has The Environmental Protection Agency that is working towards saving the planet and creating awareness among governments. He says that the EPA ensures that rules and regulations are followed when it comes to the protection of the environment. It does not deal with the health or the well being of the people but it does have the onus of ensuring that people are aware of the harmful effects of chemical and toxins on the planet, says Jonathan Schrag.
