Vital Art Auction Companies Guidelines

By Paulette Mason


Art auctions are a very good way of raising funds especially for people who appreciate talent. This article gives some of the important pointers that art auction companies should always consider so that they can have successful auctions. The following tips should also be followed by the artists who sell or donate their pieces in these events and also the bidders who wish to purchase pieces.

One of the things that firms should avoid is selling traditional pieces in live events. Traditional art pieces include things like sculptures, drawings and paintings which have been produced by professional artists. These kinds of items should only be sold in an art only auction. This is because they are usually risky items since people have different preferences.

The sales firms are advised to always use artists that are already well-known by the audience. The audience will be more willing to purchase items from artists they are familiar with. However, its good to give a chance to the new and upcoming artists to market their talent and to get support from the buyers.

The companies should make sure that they only accept artists who have pieces that are at an achievable price range. If an artist wants to sell his pieces at prices that are too expensive, the company may have a hard time making the audience get even close to that value. They should give the artists a price range based on the level of prices the audience is usually willing to pay.

It is commended that the companies constantly seek professional guidance to determine which items are appropriate for presentation in the public sale. Not suitable that they get the guidance from the artists for their thoughts may be prejudiced. The artists are expected to endorse their own works and also propose prices that will be advantageous for them since all they require is their pieces to be sold.

Another thing the companies should avoid is resale of items that were rejected by buyers in previous auctions. There are some firms that resell the rejected items and this is not appealing to the audience. The audience will like the auction better if they are able to explore new pieces of art thus new pieces must be introduced in every new event.

The firms should always make sure that they provide an online catalogue of the items that will be available at the auction so that the buyers are well prepared for the items that will be available. Without a catalogue, the company is likely to lose potential buyers who would fail to show up because they do not know what to expect.

Lastly, they must always make sure that the auction events are well planned. They should always make sure that there is enough space to fit the buyers and that the works of artists are well displayed. The sound system in the auction event should also be good enough so that each and every person who attends gets to hear what is going on.
