Sotheby's Art Auctions • LONDON 🇬🇧, by Pattycakes on Oct 2, 2008 16:32:29 GMT 1, Frankly it's time to face facts: the bubble is bursting, if you look at the results of the sale, the material the sold was the established blue chip that has survived previous crashes, i.e. Old Masters, Picasso, Miro Chagall, Matisse etc. The postwar material was hit terribly, Warhol sold very poorly compaired to previous sales. This is all starting to look like th 89 crash. Am afraid to say that I only see prices going down even further, my advice, cut your losses, sell at a sensible profit now, before that goes too!

Sotheby's Art Auctions • LONDON 🇬🇧, by Pattycakes on Oct 2, 2008 16:36:23 GMT 1, Sotheby's usually has a 90% sell thorugh rate in their print sales, they will not be happy with this result at all. A good indicator of the market is the prices the Munchs made, they have been by far the most expensive prints for the past 4 /5 years, keenly fought over by a group of Nowegians and Americans. The prices for those that sold were very flat - and these are top of the market items.

Sotheby's Art Auctions • LONDON 🇬🇧, by alsbabar on Oct 2, 2008 16:44:07 GMT 1, i believe that mixing urban with contemporary is hit and miss - as the crowd is also hit and mix - urban art auctions do well as it appeals to a certain person. I think the bottom line is, Banksy doesnt have the contemporary pull yet.
I would agree with arcam - art is looking better each day

Sotheby's Art Auctions • LONDON 🇬🇧, by Pattycakes on Oct 2, 2008 16:57:12 GMT 1, a mixed bag, amongst other things I suppose the standout things are couple of Picasso etchings, a few Miro etchings, a Ben Nicholson, a few Richard Hamiltons, 2 Grosvenor School linocuts (though sadly I can't afford these any longer) an auerbach drawing from the 50's, stuff like that. I do collect contemporary but it's much more selective now, Dzama is about the newest artist I own anything by any more.

Sotheby's Art Auctions • LONDON 🇬🇧, by pfffffffffft on Oct 2, 2008 16:57:54 GMT 1, For clarification it's been around a 10 to 20% unsold rate before the economy went surly. Over the past few auctions across multiple houses it's looking like the unsold rate has doubled to around 35%.
It appears the economic issues likely caused the unsold rate to average around this new number of 35%, however unless something else significant happens in the markets, expect to see this number stay around here until the economy starts getting better.

Sotheby's Art Auctions • LONDON 🇬🇧, by snausages on Oct 2, 2008 17:10:53 GMT 1, 35% is the average? Is that opinion or is someone talking out their arse 
I think 35% is a lot higher than average based on my experience. And if the unsold average at one of the top two auction houses in the world is at 40% in this climate I wonder what the average might be at a sub par auction house with sub par lots?
Anyway, if you socked away some money looks like you might be able to get some good buys now that the good times are over. Just don't expect a return to runaway prices for years imo.

Sounds good. I like Frank's work. Dzama looks interesting too: been keeping an eye out! Don't know Nicholson or Hamilton..
