ADVICE ๐ฐ Buying & Selling Art at Auction, by Brushstrokes 75 on Apr 29, 2012 15:33:36 GMT 1, I would go to Christie's or Bonham's with that...
You just give them a call or send an email to the specialists.
Bonham's has a print sale in July whereas Christie's have a sale in September.
Regarding the cost, Bonham's are way more flexible and you can get a pretty good rate.
Pm me & I'll give you more details..

ADVICE ๐ฐ Buying & Selling Art at Auction, by anodyne13 on Mar 9, 2013 4:15:12 GMT 1, I have not sold anything at one of the major houses, but did contact one about putting a smaller piece in an auction which they were interested in. I was amazed at the total fees.
15% buyers premium + 1.5% damage cover + 20% VAT on the fees = 19.8% on the sellers side
+ 25% buyers premium
For a total of almost 45% on the auction price, if I had a more expensive piece the total would be closer to 40%.
That is a boat load of fees..........

ADVICE ๐ฐ Buying & Selling Art at Auction, by Deleted on Mar 9, 2013 11:21:57 GMT 1, Yes there is, you can negotiate a fair sellers rate with them,though remember it all depends on how keen they are to offer the work for sale anyhow ie. is it rare and / or original etc., watch out for any ridiculously high estimate on their part as you may have to fork out a percentage of estimate if it doesnt sell,, try for a no sale no fee but i doubt you will get that ha!, what they offering? 10%?, go for 7% or less.
Good luck.

ADVICE ๐ฐ Buying & Selling Art at Auction, by Deleted on Jun 23, 2013 8:41:01 GMT 1, Printguru has it spot on. You can try for a no sale no fees deal which sometimes works if you know them well, not you obv. as you have never done it before, and go for 7% rate but be happy for anything up to and including 10%,the fees may seem steep but remember they have the clients and a wider audience than you could ever possibly have. Phillips De Pury best imo,Christies ok imo and Bonhams couldnt find a hold in their arses with sat nav and a torch IMO, and i know Dreweatts have weird results with this scene sometimes but they have been going for ages and have excellent results sometimes!
Have fun.

ADVICE ๐ฐ Buying & Selling Art at Auction, by erik on Jun 23, 2013 10:04:23 GMT 1, When you only want to test the waters and do NOT already have a contact to a brick and mortar house, you can try Artnet Auctions. There is only the initial listing fee ($25 ?) if the artwork does not sell and 10% commision if it sells. This saves you running around, shipping, insurance etc. Like printguru said, it really depends on what you want to consign. the better the piece, the more you have. The more high profile the piece, the more you want a large audience and maybe are willing to take more fees into account.

Is it possible to sell art through Artnet as a private person? and does the artwork have to go through their facilities or can you as a seller send it directly to the buyer? Appreciate the help! |

ADVICE ๐ฐ Buying & Selling Art at Auction, by murdock on Jun 23, 2013 11:09:16 GMT 1, Yes, that's actually what it's for, but that is also one of it's flaws. Artnet is just an intermediary. They never even see the artwork, what is very practical for the seller, but of course highly critical IF the artwork turns out to be not like it was described.
And you should have a VERY good measure of the market and the items worth YOURSELF, before buying anything.

I am not sure what auction you are working with but you can PM me if you dont want it public. They argue that they dont pay shipping due to the low sale percentage they collect and seller should cover this cost.

July, hmm, I wonder if that's a good month for auctions, don't people do other stuff on the summer? Anyways, make sure to lower their fees since you are selling numerous pieces.
Good luck and I and the rest of the forum is looking forward to see that canvas...
