Before the auction goes live, we will send you an invoice with the number of works selected. Once the auction catalogue is published, withdrawal of your work is not permissible. Any withdrawal post-catalogue publication will result in blacklisting due to the time and costs associated with catalogue preparation.

Should you foresee any reason necessitating the withdrawal of your work, please inform us well in advance, preferably before the auction catalogue is published. Listing fees for selected works are non-refundable.

The  auction is a "Timed Sale" as this will give a lot of collectors the opportunity to see the catalogue and ask us any questions.  The auctions take place on the respective auction platforms as indicated at the top. The auctions will run over 3 weekends.
