Thinking about when the best time is to start your art collection? Our Paintings and Works on Paper auctions are a great place to find some real treasures and bargains. From oil paintings to watercolours, sketches to prints, there is something for everyone in these sales.
The real value of a work of art is in the joy it brings the owner. While art can be a great investment, as you look to start your collection, you should buy a piece that you enjoy.
These mediums tend to be less expensive than the more traditional paintings, but you still get to enjoy a work by on of your favourite well-known artists. It’s the big name without the big price tag.
Speak to the Specialists and request a condition report on the work before purchasing your piece. Research the artist and the work so that you have a better understanding and appreciation for what you’re buying. For example, when considering purchasing a print, contact the auction of gallery to find out more about the edition information.
Photographs are often not always the same as seeing the real thing. You may even fall in love with a work you would have never considered after seeing it in person.
Buying pieces at auction is an exciting endeavour, often giving you the chance to experience to a diverse range of works of art. The auction process can seem daunting when registering for your first auction, but it is a great opportunity to acquire a piece you love, sometimes even at a bargain!
