Your neglected apartment walls are in need of a redesign. Our suggestion: Bid on a limited-edition masterpiece (starting at $200) from the latest Emerging Artists Auction.

Presented by Daniel Cooney Fine Art and iGavelauctions.com, the online auction (ending May 13) highlights undiscovered artists from various disciplines, including photography, drawing, collage, and more.

Cooney personally curated the collection from open submissions sent to iGavel. We asked the Chelsea gallerist and former FIT instructor to describe the aha moments that led to a few of his selections.

Peruse the slide show and read his responses.

See the works in person at Daniel Cooney Fine Art, 511 West 25th Street, between Tenth and Eleventh Avenues, suite 506 (212-255-8158). Place a bid online at bid.igavelauctions.com.
