Understanding the Fee Structures

Auction House Fees (What You Actually Pay)

  • Seller's commission: 10–15% of hammer price at major houses
  • Buyer's premium: 15–26% added on top — reduces buyer headroom, indirectly caps your price
  • Insurance during consignment: 0.1–0.15% of estimate
  • Shipping and crating to auction house: $200–$2,000+
  • Photography and cataloguing: $150–$500+
  • Unsold lot fee (if no buyer): $200–$500
  • Wait time: typically 3–9 months to the auction date

When Auction Houses Make Sense

  • Blue-chip artists with strong recent auction records
  • Works valued over $500K where major house prestige drives price
  • Artists with active auction market and collector demand
  • Estates needing to liquidate multiple works quickly
  • When provenance and authentication benefit from public record

When Private Targeted Sale Wins

  • Mid-market works ($2,000–$200,000) where auction fees bite hardest
  • Contemporary or emerging artists without deep auction history
  • Sellers wanting discretion (no public pass if unsold)
  • Works needing to reach niche collectors, not generic auction audience
  • Anyone who has done the math and wants to keep more of the sale
