Selling and buying artworks - use the expert art broker
Are you thinking of selling paintings you own? Or looking to buy quality art safely? Not sure how to go about this?
Contact the independent art brokers Banziger Hulme Fine Art Consultants. You will get completely impartial and unbiased advice, because we do not hold stock (unlike many other art brokers).
You will also get better value whether you sell or buy art using us, because we do not run a retail gallery and work therefore on lower margins - which are passed on to you. This approach results in better returns for you, plus you'll enjoy complete discretion and confidentiality. Contact us
to ascertain the market potential of your
artworks discreetly and obligation-free, whether you own Australian paintings or international
art.
We will help you with the sale and purchase of oil paintings, works on paper, drawings, etchings,
lithographs and other limited edition art prints,
sculpture or photgraphy.

How to save time and money when buying art
The other day, David was on the phone with a client; we had valued her art collection some time ago.
They
got chatting some more – about art, of course (as is David's wont), and
that the lady would actually like to buy some more artworks.
Now,
she is very busy with jobs and family, so time is very precious.
Hunting in art galleries or trawling through art auction catalogues is
just not on her priority list.
So when David mentioned to her that:
we preview paintings for sale at auction
provide pre-purchase reports
attend all major Australian art auctions
bid on behalf of clients and manage the whole process
her ears pricked up.
The
cost to get such expert advice is small by comparison: you'll be more
confident in your purchase and less likely to make expensive mistakes.
This will not only save you time, but also money, in particular when you
consider what you would pay for art in a retail gallery.
It just makes sense to seek independent advice before buying.
And
we won't be trying to sell our own stock – simply because we do not
deal in art ourselves. This ensures that we won't have conflicts of
interest when it comes to advising you on buying (or selling) art.
What's
more: now is definitely a good time to buy. We estimate that art market
prices are down by 20 % (compared with the heyday of 2007), and
indigenous artworks more like 50 %.
We
will be on the look-out for the lady for works by two major Australian
artists – saving her time and ultimately money as well.
If you
would like your art wishes to be on our watch list, please contact us
now. You can ring David for a chat on 02 9977 7764, send us an email or
skype (david.hulme63).
David's initial consultations are free and don't
cost you anything!
Seek out Independent Art Brokers
As
independent art brokers, we act on your behalf for the sale
and purchase of individual works or whole art collections. We deal on a
one-on-one basis and will research the best sale method and locate the best geographical market for
every artwork. Attending
all major fine art auctions in Australia, we will inform you of
a particular work when it comes up for auction and bid on their behalf.
You receive in-depth analytical information on both the work
and the artist and also a condition report, so that you can make a
fully informed decision prior to any purchase.
We will advise you also on an international level, as we are looking for the right
market to buy or sell.
Our relationships
with leading auction houses and galleries both nationally and
internationally mean that we can negotiate the best results for you.
Fees
The brokerage fee is usually calculated as a commission based on the value of the artwork. Contact us for an obligation-free quote - either by email or phone 02 9977 7764.
