Frequently asked questions
The first step to selling with Christie’s is to submit up to three images and additional information per item to our complimentary online auction estimate service. Auction estimates will be provided for items for which Christie’s has a category of sale and which meet our minimum consignment value.
As Christie's sells art from the secondary market only, we are not able to consign work from individual artists or their representatives. The secondary market constitutes galleries, dealers, or previous owners of works for which Christie's has a market. The primary market, which is defined as the artists or producers of objects themselves, is not engaged by Christie's as a source of consignment.
Christie's is pleased to offer provisional auction estimates free of charge for items which we consider appropriate for auction. We regret that we do not provide auction estimates for items which are of a type or value that is typically not sold in Christie’s auctions.
For this service, our specialists require the following information for each item: - Clear colour images (front, back and detail of signature or maker’s mark) - A detailed description including medium/material and dimensions - Provenance (the history of the item and how it was acquired) - Artist or Maker (if known)
