Which Route Should You Take When Buying & Selling in Today's Market?

In today's dynamic art market, selecting the appropriate sales channel is crucial. While traditional auctions offer public visibility and the potential for competitive bidding, they come with high fees and unpredictable outcomes. Private sales, on the other hand, provide discretion, lower costs, and greater control over pricing. Understanding the nuances of both methods empowers you to make informed decisions that align with your objectives and maximise your artwork's value.
