Bidding Advocate
An Art Auction Advocate brings experience and understanding of the auction system to avoid many dangers of bidding at auction.
Bids are executed on behalf of clients to ensure every lot is acquired at the best possible price.
Having an extensive knowledge of the market means knowing how much to bid, so as to secure an art asset which represents value.
Bidding Strategies are often developed by gauging the level of interest there is in a piece.
As Look Art Consulting maintains absolute confidentiality and discretion, this can prevent the price being pushed due to a client’s perceived financial standing.
One of the main reasons collectors and investors use a Bidding Service is to maintain their anonymity.
