Please send your data at least ten days before the auction so that we have time to post it and our mutual customers have time to contact you for bids. We will register your house with askART and create a listing for your company in our Auction House Directory.

- Auction Start Date
- Auction End Date
- Lot Number
- Artist First Name
- Artist Middle Name
- Artist Last Name
- Artist Birth Year
- Artist Death Year
- Low Estimate
- High Estimate
- Title of the painting or sculpture
- Signature (e.g., signed lower right)
- Height
- Width
- Depth
- Medium
- Subject
- Year artwork was created
- Edition (for sculptures)
- Provenance
- Exhibited
- Literature
- Condition
- Lot Notes
Please leave blank any information that you may not have about the lot (e.g., Artist Death Year).
Images: Please submit images by ftp or zipped in an email. This can be arranged with our account managers. The corresponding lot number should be in the title of each image. We support multiple images for each auction lot.
Post-Auction Results: Please send prices in an Excel spreadsheet to
[email protected] (by lot number). We require the prices within a week of the auction event.
If the formats abover are not possible, we will make other arrangements. (If you only have a few lots you could just email the lot data and images to
[email protected].)
