Describe the work and take photographs

Prepare an accurate description of the artwork. Provide information on the technique, dimensions, state of preservation and any other relevant details. Make high quality photographs from different perspectives, so that potential buyers are able to view the work in detail.

You can also choose an auction house

If you opt for a traditional auction, find an auction house that specialises in the sale of works of art. Consult with staff to get information on the process of putting the work up for auction. Present your work of art and find out what the conditions for putting it up for auction are. Employees of the auction house will help you fill in the necessary documents and discuss the details of the procedure.

Expertise and documentation

Auction houses require expertise
confirming the authenticity of the work. Make sure you have the necessary documents. Provide everything to get the auction house’s opinion on the value and authenticity of the work. Provide photographs, as they will be needed for the auction folder. Your work will then be put up for auction. You will be able to follow the progress of the auction and find out whether and for what price it has been sold.

Set the starting price

Explore the art market for information about the value of your work. Remember that the starting price should be attractive to potential buyers, but also adequate to the value of your work.

Start the auction*
