Whether you are a buyer or a seller, our team of art specialists and client service professionals offer assistance throughout the entire auction procedure. We establish relationships with sellers and provide them with feedback throughout the marketing and viewing process.
 

For sellers, this relationship begins with sound advice on establishing the value of artworks and setting the estimate and reserve strategy that best suits their artworks. Works are professionally photographed, catalogued, and assessed by our in-house conservation and restoration expert. Our specialist staff research and write informative, insightful essays on selected works; these are then presented in hard copy and online catalogues. Our specialists will happily provide buyers with in-depth artist profiles and market analytics on the achieved sales results for comparable works.
 

Auction viewings are staged at our Redfern premises and strategically chosen locations in relevant cities.
 

These ensure the artworks can be viewed to their best advantage and enable our staff to provide valuable insights to potential buyers and feedback to sellers that enable them to make decisions that will ensure the best possible result on the night.
 

Cooee Art Leven takes pride in its customer relations, consultancy, and after-sale service. This includes arranging timely advice and payment following the sale and assistance with the packing and delivery of artworks to their new owners.
