Christie's Art Auctions , by Riotcops on Mar 26, 2024 18:13:08 GMT 1, Interesting that the Hirst currency unique print went for more than the Hirst currency painting. I guess size matters after all. And more than 20 Unique prints on Artsy.
That said I have one for sale!

Christie's Art Auctions , by Cardiff on Mar 26, 2024 18:43:19 GMT 1, Not much to celebrate from this sale. Youโd be gutted if youโd paid in the region of ยฃ60k for a Harland โThis is where itโs atโ back in the day. Ouch. Not defending HM prices in any way but the condition report was really rough on this one.

Christie's Art Auctions , by Cardiff on Mar 26, 2024 18:45:15 GMT 1, Can someone explain the mechanics of purchasing a work that went unsold at auction. Is it worth reaching out and making an offer even if it's below the low estimate? Any guidance would be appreciated.

I hear that works that are bought in are generally not allowed back into consignment in the near future. You can probably contact the auction house for a private sale though.

Also, plenty examples of auction houses offering works that were bought in on their next sale.

Christie's Art Auctions , by Archives Gallery on Mar 26, 2024 20:08:40 GMT 1, Likewise, its actually a great way to get some steals. Happy to answer any questions in the DMs.
A lot of these sellers start the consignment process a few months prior to the sale, and mentally, have already parted ways with the work, which ends up leading to them taking much under fair market in certain scenarios (esp after they realize their piece failed to get even a single bid). Some on the otherhand, consider it a blessing as they wouldn't have wanted their work to have sold for the low estimate/under, and instead opt to just take the item back.

You can probably contact the auction house for a private sale though. Thanks for the advice and perspective! auction houses will tend to offer unsold lots especially editions at their next sale, albeit at lower estimates (originals they do tend to want to leave a year or two). In terms of bidding after sale it's simply a matter of emailing the auctioneer and making a bid, it's unlikely you'll get for more than 1 or 2 bids lower than the minimum bid but not unheard of, obviously it depends on the work, market and circumstances of the seller. Obviously the risk of making a derisory first after sale bid is that you'll likely get ignored even if you intend to offer more, whilst risking someone else coming in and buying.

Christie's Art Auctions , by Hugos There on Mar 27, 2024 16:45:54 GMT 1, I didn't even look at the catalogue for this auction so I missed out on the Mark Wallinger Ghost (lot 90) which I've always fancied.
Is anyone on the forum lucky enough to have one?
