ART AUCTIONS
Art Auction Houses and Online Art Auctions
This auction house guide provides you with information about the biggest and most
established art auction houses. For smaller and regional art and antique
auctions we have another guide which list them according to the state they
are located in.
Visit our ART AUCTION HOUSE section
for additional auction houses.
For the past 25 years, we've been providing art guides on the Internet, and most are similar to this guide.
We do it because galleries, museums, non-profit art organizations, and artists are important, please
support them whenever possible.
For this guide to continue, gallery and art organization support is needed. If you have listed in the past,
thank you, please renew. If you've never officially listed with us please do so today. Listing information
can be found in "About Us" in the top navigation. Individuals can also help by sharing our site with art friends
and in Social Media, thanks in advance, it would be much appreciated.
When buying and selling art at auctions you must be careful. It's easy to
over bid and get carried away when bidding, set a limit for your top bid and
do your research before bidding. Condition of the object is very important
in determining value. If you are selling make sure you fully understand the
costs to you and what the auction house will charge you. Sometimes, it helps
if you explore several auction houses before consigning an object.
