Whats the news? Its a crazy result for sure! Tbf the signed Flower Thrower on christies is at 320k already with 5 days to go.
Anyone else think this auction is moving slowly? Would it be due to the extra import taxes of EU?

No sign of the spray can? Hmmmmm Or the sale ends v2 My guess is the sellers pulled the plug after poor results. Not sure how that works, or even if you're allowed to do that once agreeing to consign? It still shows the items that presumably didn't hit their reserve so these look they've been withdrawn after the sale? I think the seller of the can is on this forum so maybe he can enlighten us?

This is why a few individuals choose auction houses to find particular work as they expect the auction house to carry out all checks and presume every item is legitimate. Not every one has the time, resources and investigative skills to carry out their own checks.
Also a few people expected results to be achieved the same as the larger established auction houses

You are approaching this situation from the position of someone who has knowledge and therefore, quite rightly, in some respects, you say they should have done due diligence themselves. In reality it simply doesn't work like that when it comes to art for the majority of, dare I say it, novice buyers. They buy on platforms like artsy and through auctions because they feel they are spending their $$$ with respectable and reputable vendors who are selling them real works, if something is sold to them as a Keith Haring through a public auction, filled with lots of other hot items like Banksy etc, who are they to argue or even consider that they're buying a fake.
The fact that TW have been called on fake items multiple times recently by members of this forum and collectors outside of it would not be information your average buyer would know.
What's done is done, and I dare say there will be another couple in the next sale, maybe even some of those very decorative subway signs with doodles on them. Like I said, I feel sorry for whoever bought them, they've just flushed 100k down the Swanee.

Think it went a while ago, maybe from the start with the controversy surrounding the name including 'tate' - followed by fakes works, shills, pulled lots, association with police investigation, using a retired auctioneer, serial killer dungeon location etcetera. Nail in the coffin.

TateWard โข Art Auctions ๐ฌ๐ง, by daniel3886 on Mar 26, 2021 14:47:51 GMT 1, Just thought a few facts could help certain people with their doubts and concerns:
This sale is a record for us by hammer ยฃ1.75m on the night and moving closer to ยฃ2m with aftersales which are continuing now.
Sell through rate of 87% average lot value ยฃ9k.
Myself and the team are delighted with this continued growth.
Iโm flattered that we are mentioned in the same sentence as Christieโs and Sothebyโs and in 275 years I hope we are where they are. But until then we will be continuing to improve our service, build our customer base and listen to our customers. We have however managed to outsell them on the following lots from ours and their most recent sale.
Unsigned Love Rat they hammered at ยฃ50k we hammered at ยฃ55k
Sepia Morons they hammered at ยฃ60k we hammered at ยฃ64k
Unsigned Have a Nice Day they hammered ยฃ35k we hammered ยฃ45k
I will allow people to draw their own conclusions from the above.
There were a few results missing from the website the reason is they were (a) lots and our system wasnโt displaying them, this should now be resolved and they should now be viewable.
The buyer of the Haring drawings is a long term collector who knows his mkt very well. He has spoken to us at length Pre sale and performed his own due diligence.
Iโm always available by phone or email to answer any questions people have so please get in touch if you wish to discuss anything.

Clearly mistakes have been made (Petrol Bomb-gate, non-editioned Warhol's, etc) but unless I have missed something, Danny has provided a clear level of detail around resolution and has followed this through?

You're never 100% safe from fake art anywhere in the world, at all levels of the game, whatever tier auction house you're dealing with.
In 2014 Switzerlandโs Fine Art Expert Institute (FAEI) claimed that at least half of the artwork circulated in the market is fake.
When the big names get caught out they tend to sue the consignor.

A similar number of people here have an axe to grind when they see people like Danny making a success of their business. Clearly mistakes have been made (Petrol Bomb-gate, non-editioned Warhol's, etc) but unless I have missed something, Danny has provided a clear level of detail around resolution and has followed this through? so thatโs it? they get a pass? cause they paid back, at cost, most of the money they defrauded ppl out of? so the PB i bought in 2018 that would b worth 4k now (a real version at least) they gave me back my buy price of 650ยฃ n thatโs that? no harm no foul? they get 2 reinvest all that stolen money into real banksy, watch it appreciate, sell at massive profit, then refund some ppl n weโre good 2 go? business as usually? man i should move 2 the UK, things run wayyyyyyyyyyy different in nyc, but in UK ppl who own, co-own, whatever, auction houses r allowed 2 rob hundreds of thousands of pounds thru trackable public auction house n private sales, the same ppl, n thereโs ZERO repercussions? sounds like the fkn wild west 2 me.... plus the fact u guys that know this 4 fact, live out there right next 2 these guys, see these ppl in the real world, n still chose 2 do business with them? wow, just.... wow. You're never 100% safe from fake art anywhere in the world, at all levels of the game, whatever tier auction house you're dealing with. In 2014 Switzerlandโs Fine Art Expert Institute (FAEI) claimed that at least half of the artwork circulated in the market is fake. When the big names get caught out they tend to sue the consignor. |
