Dreweatts Art Auctions π¬π§, by RBK on Oct 22, 2010 17:06:51 GMT 1, I really liked that David Ellis. Was going to make an offer the fact if it went unsold - but it did - so good for the bank account.

Dreweatts Art Auctions π¬π§, by Winter on Oct 22, 2010 23:20:35 GMT 1, Bit of a weak article, hardly comparable pieces. The owner(s) of the Hirst should have kept it, it only has any real meaning to them - should have framed it and hung it in the loo. A weird mish-mash of works in that auction. The Opie didn't fit too well and would have got more in a different auction on a different day.

Dreweatts Art Auctions π¬π§, by qwertystar on Oct 23, 2010 0:26:17 GMT 1, Damn- an ordinary sale, but very weak results nonetheless. Anyway, a few thoughts: Part of the problem seems to be that the majority of the prints offered at the sale are available 24/7 through ebay, not to mention the various forums/on-line galleries. Dreweatts potential market for this sale is familiar with on-line pricing and with the process of buying and selling art on-line. These buyers are simply not willing to pay a premium to source an item from an auction house. As a result Dreweatts is essentially going head to head with small time collectors/flippers etc. This raises two issues- firstly, auction houses are not commercially nimble. Auctions are planned months in advance, consignment dates close weeks before the auction. In contrast, private collectors can list and sell items within a matter of minutes. Secondly, Dreweatts has substantial overheads to cover- rents/tax/wages and so on. Private collectors selling on-line face far fewer costs. I don't think that Dreweatts (or any other auction house) can successfully compete in these circumstances. I'd suggest that Dreweatts has two options. The first is to simply be far more selective about what's sold- to focus upon original works and in particular to refuse to sell recent prints from large runs where there are already multiple versions available for sale elsewhere. The second would be to set up an ebay-like interface through their site and to use it to sell low-value prints. This would reduce Dreweatts overheads/cataloguing costs etc and enable the auction house to take on ebay on its own ground. Dreweatts could get away with charging higher fees than ebay if they were prepared to guarantee the authenticity/condition of the work. Sadly, I think that another sale like this runs the risk of undermining Dreweatts reputation - I can't imagine that sellers are lining up for the next urban editions auction.
Good post and absolutley agree

Whilst at first glance this may seem to be the case, I think this is only if you look at it from the forums "make a quick buck from urban art" perspective. Which with all due respect, is a tiny niche area within a multi million dollar industry. Auction Houses are run by pretty smart market and capital orientated people. The "live" online auction market is in its infancy, and like online "poker" before it, has enormous untapped potential. Remember the first time you bid on ebay ? The excitement, adrenalin.. and you went back and back again... welcome to the Auction House arena.. Dreweatts and the others have introduced thousands of new customers to the "Auction" house arena through these sales... and you can bet your bottom dollar that a few of those customers will remain and be spending for years.

Dreweatts Art Auctions π¬π§, by wizzy on Oct 23, 2010 18:25:34 GMT 1, I agree with that mostly re introducing new potential clients etc., these potential clients will only buy if they want to and / or its a good buy, they wont be buying rubbish or tat, and certainly wont pay over the odds for purchases, bidding from home gives you time to think and act accordingly without being caught up in the saleroom aura and becoming stricken with auction fever, much in the way a phone bid does and has done for many years.
