ADVICE - Taking Art To Auction, by maadbeats on Jan 13, 2011 18:54:18 GMT 1, I was looking to take a couple pieces to auction. I know a few here done so in the past. Any info you could lend to a newbie in terms of dealing with them? What to look out for? Or any advise to get the best price and or lowest fees?
Hopefully this thread can be a "everything you need to know about dealing with auction houses."
Cheers

ADVICE - Taking Art To Auction, by Pattycakes on Jan 23, 2011 14:53:31 GMT 1, it all depends on what you are consigning, you will only get better terms if you have something the house wants. If it's fodder then expect to pay full whack which is going to be 15% plus insurance and illustration fees.
If you have something they want (i.e. of decent enough value) then expect that figure to go down to 10% perhaps a little lower or higher depending on how valuable the work is.
If you have a painting by Banksy the ball is in your court, you could get away with 5-7% on a good day, and if it's a really good painting they might not charge you anything (i.e. over about £60,000)
Insurance is usually 1.5-2% of the hammer. Illustrations are anywhere from £20-200 depending on the house you are selling with.
A word of caution look out for BI fees, this is the amount the house charges you even if they don't sell your work - bear this in mind, it usually comes in at 2% and the illustration fees - so beware. Some houses do not charge BI so shop around there.
There are a lot of houses, and all have strengths and weaknesses, unless the work you have is seriously good, avoid Sotheby's and Christie's they have the highest charges and unless you have an in with a specialist you're unlikely to get reduced terms. Phillips de Pury are interesting and get good prices for things, again they want the higher value items generally and getting good rates are harder than at Bonham's, Bloomsbury and Dreweatts who are generally more flexible.
Like I said it all depends on what you have to sell, hope this is of some help, if you need more info send me a PM.

ADVICE - Taking Art To Auction, by murdock on Feb 4, 2011 14:46:40 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.

ADVICE - Taking Art To Auction, by ami on Jun 1, 2011 10:24:30 GMT 1, I have a Banksy signed 'Grin Reaper' and a signed Hush 'She's No Angel' that I am considering taking to Bonhams to have a look. Is this the best way of selling them? I kind of think that although you pay a high fee that you have access to a more elitest croud? Can someone advise the best way of sale for these 2 pieces

ADVICE - Taking Art To 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.

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 - Taking Art To 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.

ADVICE - Taking Art To Auction, by Pattycakes on Jan 21, 2018 13:11:27 GMT 1, The hammer price is exactly that, the figure the auctioneer calls out when he puts the hammer (actually called a gavel) down. This is the price before the auction fees are added on top (usually 25-30% less than the buyer ends up paying)

ADVICE - Taking Art To Auction, by jettad on Aug 18, 2018 18:25:54 GMT 1, I'm considering selling a couple of prints with the upcoming Phillips - October Editions and Works on Paper auction. Does anyone have any thoughts (good or bad) about dealing with Phillips? I'd be trying to sell a Banksy and Peter Blake print.
I have zero experience of auctions and wonder if i'm over my head. Any help would be great.
One other thing, I get confused with all the figures/percentages going around. Hypothetically, if something sells for £1000, hammer price, the auction fees would make it £1250 (25%), paid by the buyer? And of that £1000 hammer price, what would I then get from them? Again, sorry for the questions, I am new to this!
Cheers

Sometimes it can be as much as 30%, mibbe even higher above hammer. You will be lucky to get 90% of hammer price, depends on what you negotiate and their standard fees. Plenty folks with good experience of auctions on here will be along to advise better than I can.

Your side is the sellers commission. For lower items expect to pay the about 18% to 20%. For higher priced items try not to pay more than 10% and stay firm on the 10%. Make sure you ask is the 10% all in, as you don't want to pay extra for photographs, catalogue or any hidden extras.
Do read the contract before signing as some houses charge you if you stick with a certain reserve and your item goes unsold.
To be honest try more than one house for fees, but if you have good items don't just throw them in anywhere

Again, sorry for the questions, I am new to this! Cheers The key is to haggle with the auction house for your terms. Phillips would be one of the best. They will get the buyers premium (BP) which should be about 25%, so for every 1,000 they sell your item for the buyer pays them 250. Your side is the sellers commission. For lower items expect to pay the about 18% to 20%. For higher priced items try not to pay more than 10% and stay firm on the 10%.

ADVICE - Taking Art To Auction, by irl1 on Sept 2, 2018 20:11:07 GMT 1, I used them before. You can stick them up and wait to see what offers you get from auction houses, then take your pick from the best one. You should get a few offers if the work is right, but no matter who replies to you haggle like mad for the best terms. Cant see anywhere about replies to it. Will it just email me when someone does?

When you send in a lot you will get an email with a consignment number. Then when an auction house wants to take your lot artsy send you an email with an offer. You can take it (make sure you read their terms) reject it or ask for better terms. It goes through artsy but you don't pay them anything. They contact the house for you if you take the offer, and then the house contacts you. Its very simple and i found them good. When you send it in your work goes up where only the auction houses can see it. Did you get an email back with a number? |
