Of course you can bid, but not at my sale

Article Abstract:

British auctions are mainly attended by dealers whereas on the Continent approximately 80% of buyers are the general public. British auctioneers have the highest annual turnover in the world: Sotheby's 612.7 million pounds sterling and Christie's 572.2 million pounds sterling. The recession has produced so much property for auction that dealers are overloaded. Two publications, 'The Government Auction Handbook' and 'Saleroom and Auction Monthly' advertise auctions to the general public but the auctioneers are unwelcoming. The 'Saleroom and Auction Monthly', edited by Richard Savin has a circulation of 23,000 and is similar to the French weekly 'La Gazette'.

Prints charming

Article Abstract:

People who are willing to publishing prints of work by contemporary artists are taking a considerable risk, as they have no way of knowing whether a particular artist will become popular or not. It is necessary to have considerable faith in the abilities of the artist concerned, and to be prepared to wait a considerable length of time before the prints begin selling at auction at higher prices than their retail price. Investing in contemporary art prints can be profitable, however, especially as stocks of an edition dwindle and the publisher begins to raise prices.

He includes a lot of humour in his non-stop patter.
