Aspire Art Auctions is a service-oriented business. As such, we want to make it as easy as possible for our clients to do business with us. If you’re a new client, and starting your art collection, you may feel intimidated by the auction process and bidding for the works of art that you feel passionate about and wish to have. Rest assured that bidding at auction is safe and suprisingly easy. Every part of our business process that supports your bidding is completely transparent, barring the identity of the seller. Prices for each work, stated as an estimate range, are set by our Art Specialists. These consist of a low number, on or close to which the bidding will start, and a high number, which the specialists consider to be the upper limit of the market value of the work of art. This is the bidding framework which gives you an idea of the overall value of the art. Firstly, before you can start to bid, you will have to register on any of our platforms. Aspire offers numerous ways to interact with the business to place your bids – either telephonically, via our app or on our website, or you can take the exciting step of being in the room bidding for the artwork(s) you want. All of these ways of interacting with us require you to pre-register as a bidder. Secondly, it is good to have an upper limit that you are willing to spend in mind that you can stick to once the bidding process begins, so you don’t overcommit, or overspend. Thirdly, once you are in the bidding process, increments are usually regular and dictated by the electronic bidding system if you’re bidding online or on the app, or by the auctioneer if you’re bidding in the room. Link these increments to the pre-sale estimates of the work to judge how high you should be bidding. Remember, the bidding process is always transparent, and you will be aware that other bidders are competing with you if they are. This is the exciting, competitive part of auction. If you are successful, you will enjoy the new addition to your art collection all the more. Bonne chance!
