HOW TO SELL ART AT AUCTION

We are now inviting consignments to Deutscher and Hackett 2024 Live and D+H ONLINE auctions.

In 2023 D+H consolidated its market-leading reputation for handling higher value works - with the firm selling an impressive total of four paintings over $2M+ and achieving the top annual auction price for the third consecutive year:

2021 – Arthur Streeton, Grand Canal, 1908, sold for $3,068,000 (inc. BP)
2022 – Fred Williams, Lysterfield Landscape, 1968 – 69, sold for $2,332,000 (inc. BP)
2023 – John Peter Russell, Souvenir de Belle-Île (Marianna Russell with Goats, Goulphar, Belle-Île), 1897, sold for $3,927,273 (inc. BP)

Deutscher + Hackett’s auction sales across 2022 – 2023 totalled an all-time Australian auction house high of $87 million for a 24 month period.

This year Deutscher + Hackett continues to dominate the secondary art market, achieving the highest total turnover for a single mixed-vendor auction in Australia since 2007, with the April 2024 auction of Important Australian and International Fine Art realising $16.7 million across the 55 lots offered.

With the largest and most experienced team of seven fine art specialists, known for their integrity, expertise and commitment, we are pleased to offer complimentary appraisal services and to assist with all aspects of the consignment and selling process.

 

HOW TO SELL ART AT AUCTION 

Every written auction proposal presented by Deutscher and Hackett is transparent, unique and considered. Works of art are carefully researched and our recommended auction estimates take into account prices paid for comparable material at auction over past recent years. In the case of higher value works we typically include information regarding Deutscher and Hackett’s past performance with each of these artists.

Consideration is given to the auction timing and venue location as well as the presentation of each item in the printed catalogue. Our marketing strategy is clearly explained together with selling commission rates and associated costs. All logistical aspects are taken into consideration with transport, insurance and storage needs addressed.
