Before you choose how to sell your art, understand what each channel actually delivers — fees, timelines, buyer quality, and real outcomes.
Christie's and Sotheby's take 25–35% in fees and require minimum values of $5,000+. See when auction makes sense — and when it doesn't.
Galleries take 40–60% commission and can hold your work for 12–24 months. Compare the economics of flat-fee outreach vs open-ended consignment.
Listing platforms wait for buyers to find you. MoveArt's AI finds buyers and reaches out directly. See why active outreach outperforms passive listings.
Art advisors charge $5,000–$50,000 and months of lead time. MoveArt delivers the same buyer network access starting at $149, in days.
Estate sales move art for 20–40 cents on the dollar to unqualified buyers. Learn why targeted outreach preserves market value.
Serious art buyers don't browse eBay. See why collector-grade work requires collector-grade channels — and what that means for your final sale price.
Saatchi Art takes 35% commission on every sale — $1,750 on a $5K artwork. MoveArt charges $149 flat and finds buyers directly. Compare passive marketplace vs active outreach.
Heritage Auctions is America's largest specialty auction house with lower minimums than Christie's — but auction still means commissions, premiums, and 3–6 month timelines.
A complete overview of every sales channel — auction house, gallery, online marketplace, art fair, advisor, and AI-powered outreach — with a decision matrix to help you choose the right path for your specific situation.
