Bidding in Person
Absentee Bidding
If you cannot attend the auction, ou may place an absentee bid (otherwise known as a written bid or a proxy bid). A member of the Artspace staff will bid on your behalf, up to your maximum bid amount. You may, in fact, pay less than your maximum bids if all other bids are lower than your maximum bid. Your bidding proxy will try to secure the piece for you at the lowest price possible.

Your Absentee Bid Form is a binding agreement between you and Artspace, stating that, upon winning an auction, you will purchase the artwork. Your credit card will be charged the amount of the final hammer price.
Shipping and Picking Up Artwork
We will gladly arrange shipping of your artwork by Federal Express. A shipping and handling charge will be added to your total purchase price.
You may also indicate that you will pick up your purchase at Artspace. Items can be picked up by appointment during gallery hours, for one month following the auction. Artspace reserves the right to return the work to the artist if the buyer has not claimed it by May 31, 2005.
