Why Sell With ACES Gallery?

ACES Gallery focuses on curated items offered in a traditional “live” auction at our facility. ACES is a company founded by Appraisers; and The Gallery is designed to leverage our expertise to elevate the right items into the right markets.

  • International Reach: Our gallery auctions are advertised in trade publications and to a global network of collectors, dealers, and art enthusiasts. This broad reach can expose items to a diverse and extensive pool of potential buyers, increasing the likelihood of finding the right buyer willing to pay a premium price.

  • Transparency: Selling at Auction provide a transparent and public platform for buying and selling art. The auction process, including bidding increments and final sale prices, is visible to all participants, fostering trust and confidence in the transaction.

  • Quick Sale: Auctions offer a relatively expedited sales process compared to other methods such as private sales or consignment to galleries. Once the items are consigned to ACES Gallery and included in an upcoming auction, the sale occurs within a defined timeframe, allowing sellers to realize proceeds more quickly.

  • Potential for Higher Prices: Auctions can attract competitive bidding, may drive up the price of artworks beyond what they might fetch through other sales channels. The excitement of the auction environment, combined with the presence of multiple interested buyers, can lead to higher sale prices.
