TELEPHONE & ABSENTEE BIDDING
Art Leven [formerly Cooee Art] offers several ways to participate in one of our auctions. Bidding forms are also available in our showroom in Redfern during the auction preview. Bidding forms can be submitted in person, online or emailed. If you have not previously bid with us, upon receiving your bid form we will request photo identification, such as a drivers licence or passport.

TELEPHONE BIDDING
Art Leven (formerly Cooee Art) Auctions offers a complimentary telephone bidding service on all works at auction. They are allowing you to actively bid live on the night of the auction from wherever you are. Telephone bids must be booked in advance of the auction, no later than 4 hours prior.​
​
By using this option, you can bid on any lot from anywhere in the world. You will be telephoned prior to your selected lot arising and one of our staff will act on your behalf and according to your instructions. An auction can be quick so it is advisable that you give clear instructions to the person bidding on hour behalf.
It is also advisable to leave a Cover Bid (which acts the same way as an Absentee Bid) so that if we cannot reach you on the night, the person calling can then bid for you up to and including your Cover Bid amount. If you are a successful bidder an invoice will be sent to you via email within a day of the auction.
​
ABSENTEE BIDDING
For those who prefer not to attend the auction in person or bid online, you can leave an Absentee bid with us by filling in the form found at the back of this catalogue, or contact the team at Art Leven prior to the auction. Once the team has confirmed your maximum bid on any lot, the Auctioneer will bid on your behalf up to, but not above, this amount.
​
If you are a successful bidder an invoice will be sent to you via email within a day of the auction.
