Gormley prints typically sell for anywhere between £600 and £100,000. In 2022 Gormley’s prints market excelled on the secondary market, often outperforming preset estimates.

Researching recent sales of similar works is useful for understanding your print's value. However, navigating the auction market can be challenging and complex. At MyArtBroker, we perform free valuations, and our MyPortfolio service helps to identify fluctuations and the current status of Gormley's art market.

Authenticating an Antony Gormley print requires an expert examination of the work for edition number and artist’s signature, which is further used to conduct provenance research to determine authenticity. Having a clear and verifiable provenance increases the value of a work, so any relevant documents, including invoices, certificates of authenticity, and exhibition history verifying previous ownership, are important to consider.

At MyArtBroker, we are happy to facilitate sales and our passionate team of experts can carry out the due diligence necessary for authenticating works, simplifying the sales process for you.

Timing the sale of your Antony Gormley print can be crucial, and it is important to keep an eye on the art market as demand for the artist’s work may fluctuate. The optimal time to sell an artwork often aligns with periods of heightened interest in the artist's market, which can be sparked by retrospective exhibitions or notable sales of their works. These indicators suggest that selling during such periods is more likely to yield higher returns on your investment. 

By tracking auction sales and gallery exhibitions, you can easily identify when an artist's market is thriving, indicating a good time to sell. Stay ahead of market trends and make informed decisions with MyArtBroker's cutting-edge tool, MyPortfolio. Our exclusive platform combines comprehensive sales data from auctions and our private sales, ensuring unparalleled accuracy in showcasing an artist's market fluctuations. Take advantage of this powerful resource to stay informed and maximise your opportunities in the art market.

Lastly, when timing artwork sales, you should consider the broader economic climate, as buyers may be more or less willing to purchase or invest in the art depending on the economy's overall health. Currently, Gormley’s work is on display at the exhibition Living Time at the TAG Art Museum in China, which is the most comprehensive showing of his work in Asia to date. The presence of this exhibition signifies a notable expansion of Gormley's influence, indicating a potential surge in demand for his works within the Asian art market.

How a Private Sale Works

Unlike peer-to-peer platforms, which lack specialised expertise, authenticity guarantees, and legal infrastructure for high-value sales, MyArtBroker operates through private sales ensuring a secure and seamless transaction process. We charge sellers 0% to sell, and take a small commission from our buyers, absorbing essential aspects including insurance, shipping, and marketing - at no extra cost to the seller. There is no magic to it, we’re a lean specialised business with less overheads than traditional models meaning we can do better for our clients.

Our revenue is derived from buyer commissions only, which are individually negotiated upon offer, and we aim to give the client the best return in the market place. By focusing on high-value artworks in excess of £10,000, we provide specialised care and expertise, ensuring each piece receives the attention it deserves, while simultaneously maximising returns with our clients. For works that fall below this threshold speak to the team about a recommendation, we offer market advisory free of charge. Our goal at MyArtBroker is to offer a seamless solution, setting us apart in the art market.

In cases for artists and artworks, where our existing network of collectors isn’t the best fit due to value, medium or condition we collaborate with reputable partners to facilitate its sale. Carefully tailoring your artwork to the right party. This tailored approach is especially important as it considers the unique attributes of each artwork, providing sellers with the best possible outcome in today’s shifting art market.
