We are located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, home to many of the most important collectors, galleries, and dealers in the world, and an international destination. While the world has definitely become smaller with technology, there is no subsitute for selling your works in the Capital of the Art World, where the big buyers are. 4. A broad base with a specialized niche. With our aggressive marketing, we can sell your European, American, Latin American, and other art to get the best possible results. We also make Russian art a major focus. Unlike some other auction houses which may sell Russian art from time to time, we are Russian-speakers, familiar not only with the art but the culture of Russian buyers. 5. Profit from global advertising. We advertise your artwork globally and intensively, both in print and online. Our printed advertisements have appeared in American, British, Russian, Italian, and French magazines. Our staff speaks Russian, French, and Spanish and works with buyers from the world over. 6. Sell to buyers in 80 countries. Our proprietary mailing list of active buyers is extensive and reaches worldwide. In addition, through targeted direct marketing and multiple online catalog and bidding platforms, we make sure your works are seen by hundreds of thousands of potential buyers the world over. 7. In-home consultations and free pick-up on local items. 8. Seller's fees as low as 0% on expensive items. 9. Extended exhibition periods. We exhibit your works in our 2500 square-foot gallery on the Upper East Side from the time they are received, to numerous visitors throughout the year. This is in addition to the full week of official preview times before an auction, giving your items the maximum exposure possible. 10. We are a fully licensed, bonded, and insured New York City auction house. To consign, please email us at info@geneshapiro.com or send us via regular mail photographs of your artwork or call us at (212) 717-7500 to make an appointment to bring in your artwork in for a free auction estimate. For large collections and more expensive items, we can also travel directly to you. Notes on photographing your artwork When photographing your artwork, please photograph both the front and back, either with a 35mm film camera or digital camera (please set your digital camera to capture images at the highest resolution). The best photographs can be made outdoors in natural light or indoors in an area with a good amount of lighting. Please include along with your photograph a note including: artist, size (excluding frame), medium (oil on canvas, watercolor, bronze, etc.), signature location (lower left, upper right, etc.), and any other pertinent information (date, title, labels, provenance, etc.). We will get back to you by phone or email shortly after receiving your photographs. |
