Sounds like items best sent to auction. With several nice original works by these artists, you should have enough to get a break on seller's commissions. Using a broker/advisor that you don't know could cost you more than auction commissions. There's a limitless number of people who will "help" you sell these and act as a middle man. If you purchased these directly from the artist or representing gallery, you could see if they might place them for you, but you will pay a commission there too.

You could also just contact their agents and find out what's available.

Yeah you can do a lot of damage with that kind of money for OGs from some really good quality rising stars from top galleries. For me I’d spend some time getting to know galleries like Almine Rech, Hauser & Wirth, Pillar Corrias, and Xavier Hufkens and start buying some primary works from artists on their roster that you connect with. All of those galleries know how to build a market and if you’re spending decent sums and aren’t looking to flip, in time they’ll offer you the good stuff (you may need to buy a couple of less sought after artists first to break the ice). I think all the artists you’re looking at have had their day and only worth buying if you really love their work and aren’t worried about possibly losing money.

Hey,

Can anyone please recommend me some heavyweight hype art advisors to help me sell some top-tier hype art in my collection. (Heavyweight as in can sell works such as $500k Murakami, $200k Daniel Arsham, $150k Virgil Abloh, all unique works).

I'm learning a lot about collecting art and hope to sell many of the hype art I own and buy from more solid blue-chip gallery programs. Also, I have contacts from the three big auction houses, but with auction comes a lot of uncertainty, and with Murakami's auction market being soft at top level now (some works selling below estimate), I'd rather a good hype art advisor can place the works for me privately. Also galleries are of not much help at this moment they are all trying to generate COVID cash through primary gallery shows first.

I contacted some art advisors. Many are traditional who do not have a group of clients actively buying top tier hype art, if you know any art advisors who can help me sell works at this price range, please DM me that will be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Tesla

Did you seek advice when buying these pieces? If so, my instinct would be to approach the initial advisor in question...

If bought from a gallery directly then you could offer the works back and see what price they could achieve, the gallery may be able to find a private buyer for you. You may even make money.

As above, it’s unusual for an art advisor doing their job correctly to place hype art in the collections of clients, so feels like somewhat of an oxymoron.

Fully support your strategy.

Is hype art a widely used term? Seems fitting but have never heard it before.

...So yea it is an insult

TBH I don't mind sitting them in the storage, just not a fan looking at them anymore in my home. My taste has drastically changed after talking with collectors older than me, and also going to many museums and donating to some and talk with people there make me realize how stupid of those hype stuff I buy. It's good and quick when you buy $4k stuff then sell for $10k-20k 3-5 years later. But when you buy at $300k top-level hype canvas, few people want to buy it for $300-$600k because many are buying more blue-chip and solid investment grade stuff. Let me be a cautionary tale.

Already have 3 Shepard canvases, TBH Shepard I do not think he can have a market run like Banksy, Banksy is more rare for unique works. I was offered some at $300k oil on canvases and passed, I felt dumb to numb for that fact. 

Artists I'm looking for have drastically changed, now my holy grails are Christina Quarles, Barbra Kruger early photographs, Avery Singer canvases.

These art advisors advise on the present money level the works are at...if you were to turn back time and put that same mind set when the names they dropped now we're nobody's, they would be advising you to buy the relatively equal value now of an artist in that time.
"Man I should of bought tesla when they ipo'd and everyone was laughing at them", " don't buy nio at 3.25, take all that money and buy tesla"

What is happening here?

I know the beanie babies story, as my mother collected them..and no it is not a mix up, these cards and stamps were mass produced like many of the prints and vynils are

Limited? 🤔

150k Virgil abloh 😂😂

If an art advisor touched this they’d be blacklisted by me!
