SELLING Art

We work with private clients to identify the best strategy for selling individual works or entire collections. Taking into account each artwork’s character, market interest, and the collector’s goals, we provide clear, tailored advice.

Private sales often offer a discreet, straightforward, and timely transaction, while consignments provide access to specialist collectors or a targeted audience. Auction can be advantageous for reaching a global market, particularly when the choice of house, location, and terms are carefully considered and negotiated.

We present the best available options and support our clients in making informed decisions that align with their goals and priorities.

Our services INCLUDE:

Initial valuation
Market research and recommendations
Private sales
Consignment negotiations
Identifying suitable auction houses and negotiating terms

Auction Services

Buying or selling at auction can seem simple, yet collectors often encounter unexpected complexities along the way. With years of experience guiding clients, OSME Fine Art offers expert advice on both acquisitions and sales at auction.

Our services INCLUDE:

Researching Upcoming Lots
We closely monitor the auction market and actively identify artworks that meet our clients’ criteria.
Pre-auction Research
Before bidding, it is essential to understand the artwork, its provenance, condition, and market value. We gather all relevant information, including condition reports, detailed photography, and auction specifics, and present it in a clear summary with professional advice on potential acquisitions.
Artwork Inspections
While we recommend inspecting artworks in person whenever possible, we understand that time and location can make this difficult. We are happy to travel to examine artworks on our clients’ behalf.
Bidding Strategy
Based on pre-auction research, we determine budgets and bidding strategy, working closely with our clients.
Private Bidding
Many clients cannot follow auctions live due to schedules or time zone differences. We provide private bidding services, participating online or in the auction room on our clients’ behalf.
Post-Auction Considerations
Once a bid is successful, we handle the details for you, coordinating transport, insurance, and installation through trusted partners, often at a lower cost than auction houses, so you can enjoy your new artwork with complete peace of mind. If a lot goes unsold or exceeds the planned budget, we can advise on alternative opportunities through the secondary market or private sales.
Selling at auction
Working closely with our clients, we assess whether auction is the most suitable route for selling their artwork and provide expert guidance in selecting the right auction house. Different houses and locations attract different audiences, markets, and tax considerations. Each auction house offers specific terms for sellers, which we carefully review and negotiate to help achieve the most favorable outcome possible.
