Nice selection

I’ll take a look at the estimate, possibly there has been a mistake. Appreciate you raising it feel free to point out any others you’d like me to look into.

Appreciate the response. Other estimates seem fair and it’s a good line up.

Both carry 3% bidding surcharges, you can avoid this by registering with us directly. You can then bid live via the telephone or leave an absentee bid. If you need any further info or help drop me a pm or mail

Ah, I see. Never used The Saleroom, thought it was your own online auction room!

Took me a while to go through both previews. Some cracking pieces in there.
Particularly liked the David Choe piece(s).

Just to let you know, The Sale Room now charges 5% online bidding.  It went up recently.

In fact, it is 5% plus VAT so it's 6%.  Along with buyer's premium, it's now 36% on top of the hammer price!   

There is an original and a much later reproduction. Perhaps this is the source of the confusion.

Some cracking pieces.

If we want to pop in a view the items when can we do this and what's the address?

Strap yourself in and get ready for a bumpy ride.

Auctions can be great fun. Its best not to expect too much, just go and enjoy it. 

You will always remember your first one. The buzz of the auctions is much better than doing a private sale.
The only thing is be prepared for your lot to go unsold, as if you have to many expectations you won't enjoy the auction. 

If by any chance a lot goes unsold, no worries just enjoy your art!
 

Apologies for the slow reply we’ve been hanging and numbering the lots for the viewing. Works are now viewable at Chiswick’s saleroom 1 Colville Rd Chiswick London W3 8BL.

I’m looking forward to welcoming those of you who can come on Wednesday/Thursday. The Contemorary sale starts at 5pm on Wednesday and should be finished by 7.30pm. There will be drinks and food served during and after the sale on Wednesday. With approx 790 lots its a great opportunity to come and see a wide selection of art and artists. 

If you intend to bid on anything I would encourage you to register directly with us to avoid online bidding fees of 5% with The Saleroom and Invaluable. We need Photo ID and Proof of Address sent to bids@chiswickauctions.co.uk to register bidders then you can request a telephone bid or leave an absentee bid for us to manage on your behalf.

Was really surprised to see Chiswick be unable to sell the Happy Choppers AP. One just sold at SBI auctions in Japan for $66k usd. Record price. 

If you registered before you won’t need to do it again. You will need to arrange telephone bidding or absentee bids on lots you’re interested in.

Prices have taken a fairly sharp upswing since that sale, ours passed on the 20th Jun and this result was on the 3rd of Nov that’s 136 days apart! The piece was placed privately post sale at a price higher than it passed at with buyer and seller both happy.

This is the second time you’ve mentioned it now I’m not really sure what point you’re trying to make? Prices fluctuate especially at auction. The seller was consulted and an estimate was agreed that they felt offered them a level of protection they wanted and informed buyers of what to expect to pay. On the day this wasn’t met so the work was returned. The seller had tried 2 larger houses and wasn’t willing to risk putting the work in at the estimates given.

In the event of a work passing I’d encourage any interested buyers to get in touch and we’ll do our best to put a sale together post sale. Equally if you see a result of a work that you own and want to try to sell to an underbidder we’ll also be happy to try.

It’s always the way you look at a set of results post sale and there are lots where you’re kicking yourself thinking “I would have bought that” and others where your also thinking “I’d sell mine for that”. The best way to avoid this is to be registered to bid and look for the opportunities or consign as a seller.
