AUCTION HOUSES
Auction Houses - Australian Art Collector
| Auction houses provide a service for buying and selling art in the secondary market. When considering buying art at auction doing the preliminary groundwork is essential. Speak with the specialists about the significance of the work, request a condition report, look into what the artist’s work currently sells for elsewhere, and have a price in mind before bidding. Remember there is a buyer’s premium of around 20 per cent on the hammer price. If considering selling art at auction, specialists can give free appraisals and advice. Selling at auction is beneficial for those who want a fast sale and good results can be achieved due to the large database of buyers, skilled auctioneers and marketing. The reputation of the auction house is also important to consider. |
