Private art sales are overtaking auctions due to the unparalleled discretion, cost efficiency, and control they offer to UHNW buyers and sellers, avoiding the public risks and high fees of the saleroom.

The buyer's premium at an art auction is a fee paid by the winning bidder, calculated as a percentage of the hammer price. It typically ranges from 10% to 28%, often on a tiered scale, and is a significant component of the total acquisition cost.

Blue-chip art represents the pinnacle of the art market, featuring works by globally recognised artists with proven value. Learn the key strategies for UHNW individuals to invest in this asset class in 2026.
