LIVE AUCTION:
If this is a Live Auction you have several methods in which to place your bids.
Please see https://www.aspireart.net/buying/ for more information on bidding in a Live auction.
TIMED-ONLINE AUCTION:
If this is a Timed-Online auction - all bidding takes place right here.
Once logged in, simply enter your maximum bid.
An email will be sent to you if you are winning, if the reserve is not met, or if you are outbid.
As well as receiving emails, you will see the status of your bids on the website with a 'flash' showing your current bid status; you can also view this information on your 'My Account' page.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Max bid
You can leave a maximum bid by entering the maximum amount that you wish to bid up to on a particular lot. In doing so, the bidding system will automatically and incrementally bid on your behalf, up to your maximum bid amount in the event that you are outbid by another auction registrant.
When you are outbid, the bidding system will automatically bid one increment above the latest winning bid to ensure that you are the winning bidder and will do so until your maximum amount is reached.
Once you are no longer the winning bidder, it means that your maximum bid amount has been outbid by another registrant.
When you are not the winning bidder, but your maximum bid amount is the same as the current winning bid, it means that you were outbid by another registrant whose maximum bidding amount either matches or exceeds your maximum bid amount and that the winning bidder placed their absentee bid prior to yours.
NB: The system gives sequential preference to bidders based on when they first entered their bid into the bidding system.
Auction: Photographs + Editions, ending 1st Aug, 2023
Aspire Art presents another specially themed Timed-Online auction, PHOTOGRAPHS + EDITIONS. The sale includes editioned works by well-loved South African favourites, Walter Battiss, Deborah Bell, Robert Hodgins, William Kentridge, Nelson Makamo, Karel Nel, Helen Sebidi and Diane Victor, amongst others.
Notable photographic highlights are three historical images from the 1960s and 70s of Muhammad Ali and Nelson Mandela by the acclaimed photographer, Alf Kumalo. Also featured are photographic works by Adam Broomberg & Oliver Chanarin and Daniel Naudé and a selection of striking images documenting southern African rural and urban landscapes, by photographers including Gopolang Ledwaba, Struan Robertson and Graeme Williams.
Currency conversions are based on the exchange rate at the auction's start time and date. Bidders should verify the current exchange rate on the day of the sale. All invoices and payments must be made in South African Rands.
Logistics
While we endeavour to assist our Clients as much as possible, we require artwork(s) to be delivered and/or collected from our premises by the Client. In instances where a Client is unable to deliver or collect artwork(s), Aspire staff is available to assist in this process by outsourcing the services to one of our preferred Service Providers. The cost for this will be for the Client’s account, with an additional Handling Fee of 15% charged on top of the Service Provider’s invoice.
Aspire Art provides inter-company transfer services for its Clients between Johannesburg and Cape Town branches. These are based on the size of the artwork(s), and charged as follows:
Small (≤60x90x10 cm): R480
Medium (≤90x120x15 cm): R960
Large (≤120x150x20 cm): R1,440
Over-size: Special quote
Should artwork(s) be collected or delivered to/from Clients by Aspire Art directly, the following charges will apply:
Collection/delivery ≤20km: R400
Collection/delivery 20km>R800≤50km
Collection/delivery >50km: Special quote
Packaging
A flat fee of R100 will be added to the invoice for packaging of unframed works on paper.
International Collectors Shipping Package
For collectors based outside South Africa who purchase regularly from Aspire Art’s auctions in South Africa, it does not make sense to ship artworks individually or per auction and pay shipping every time you buy another work. Consequently, we have developed a special collectors’ shipping package to assist in reducing shipping costs and the constant demands of logistics arrangements.
For buyers from outside South Africa, we will keep the artworks you have purchased in storage during the year and then ship all the works you have acquired during the year together, so the shipping costs are reduced. At the end of the annual period, we will source various quotes to get you the best price, and ship all your artworks to your desired address at once.
Aspire Art will arrange suitable storage during, and cost-effective shipping at the end, of the annual period.
Collections
Collections are by appointment, with 24-hours’ notice
Clients are requested to contact the relevant office and inform Aspire Art of which artwork(s) they would like to collect, and allow a 24-hour window for Aspire Art’s logistics department to retrieve the artwork(s) and prepare them for collection.
Handling Fee
Aspire Art charges a 15% Handling Fee on all Logistics, Framing, Restoration and Conservation arranged by Aspire.
