Selling Personal Pieces to Auction Houses, by thetruth55 on Feb 9, 2008 3:08:51 GMT 1, The recent Bonhams auction talk got me thinking....what do higher-end auction houses like these expect of your art prints before they consider taking them in and selling them? I'm looking at this more from a storing/framing perspective. Does Bonhams/other auction houses accept already framed art....or do they want to see it out of the frame before taking it so they can "grade" its condition? I am just thinking out loud - I've got nothing to sell. I scored my first signed Banksy recently and I've paid quite a bit of money getting it archivally-framed, matted, protective glass, etc. It just got me thinking that if I ever did want to sell it way down the road at some point, what would an auction house expect of my print? Just curious. Any information about how these auction houses operate would be appreciated. Thanks for the help!
