TateWard โข Art Auctions ๐ฌ๐ง, by Spenie on Nov 17, 2022 22:19:38 GMT 1, Nothing here, I see two of Damien's The Currency went unsold at ยฃ8,000 and none go the HENI editions got a bid either. When Life Gives you a Lemon always seems to do well, one of these ยฃ40 posters is in every sale. What am I missing, you can still buy the posters new direct from Shrigley yet one went for 550 pounds at TW?

Usually they go for a grand upwards, no idea why but one is in every auction, if it's the same seller they have done very well. |

TateWard โข Art Auctions ๐ฌ๐ง, by its all about me on Jan 18, 2023 13:27:38 GMT 1, What are people's opinions of Tate Ward? I have bought two items from them at auction on two separate occasions and each time I have not been very happy with things. Have I just been unlucky or are they known to be rather unprofessional in their dealings?
I realise they are one of the main auction houses for urban art so I don't want to dismiss them altogether but I am now very reluctant to bid on any of their future auctions. How have other people found them?

They do open days for you to view the items in person so if it's an expensive one I would make the effort to see it in person. All the best

Appreciate there is past history posted on the forum regarding sale of dubious items, but itโs buyer beware imo - do your homework, and assume nothing. Iโd be the same for any auction house including the likes of Sothebys etcโฆ..

All the best I have sold with Tate ward and had mainly good results and quick payment, having said that I am careful what I put in their auction and would advise to check what they sell well and what they donโt. They always make things easy as well and are not snooty like some other London auction houses. |

Comms was quick, prices suggested sensible, fees lower than elsewhere and payment was made quickly. One didn't sell & was returned quickly and without hassle. I was happy with prices made, overall maybe less than Sotherbys, but with lower fees - about same overall in my pocket. Only purchase one item - thats was fine.

What specifically were you not happy with? Did you get the wrong items? Was there an issue with shipping? In general, there shouldn't be surprises with auction items - ask all the questions beforehand (they answer them), do your diligence, bid what you think it is worth, pass if it goes above, enjoy if you win.
Is Tate Ward the same as Sotheby's or Bonham's or Phillips? No. But in our little corner of the art world they are certainly above "good enough" in my experience.

I realise mistakes may happen but the way they dealt with it when I raised my concerns seemed very unprofessional. Once is forgivable. Twice in a row and alarm bells start ringing for me. |

Yes. This does happen with them. They often use stock photos and put up condition reports before they have actually reviewed the pieces in hand, and then don't update them. Anything I buy from them (or any other auction house) I ask for additional in hand pictures of actual item, and reconfirmation of all condition notes.

Personally Harry has always been excellent and not the "tool" as mentioned above. I guess everyone has different experiences, but so far the comments lean towards Tate being a decent enough outfit

But they can also be pretty shite with other stuff.
Id use them again, but id be very careful what items they got, and nothing high value would go there.
No issues with what ive bought though.
