Selling through Auction

Look Art Consulting specialises in advice for selling art in the secondary market and in particular through auction.

Auction Houses vary greatly in the cost of their Vendor Fees as well as their service and market coverage, so we advise clients on the most appropriate auction house to potentially achieve the best result for a particular work.

This low rate has been calculated working on the premise that Look Art Consulting is a stakeholder in the work and will most likely be involved in the re-sale of the piece.

There are many factors to consider when placing a work in the auction market . . .

• the Timing of a sale for a specific work
• catalogue Position
• supervising pre-sale and advance Marketing
• Monitoring any competing works featured in other catalogues,
• ensuring the most relevant Location for the auction -  Melbourne, Sydney, Perth or Adelaide, or even internationally
• finally selecting the most appropriate Auction House
• the best seller's commission rate available
• the best catalogue and marketing exposure

Look Art Consulting charges a 5% consulting fee, on the hammer price & only if the item is sold.
