Jon and his father, Paul Dwyer alone have amassed over seven decades working within the Auction Houses and are privy to the knowledge that is required to ensure their clients are correctly advised on what is a complex and challenging area for the unadvised or unwary.

Auction Bidding

Why Dwyer Fine Art should bid for you!

Dwyer Fine Art has the depth of knowledge, training, experience and understanding of the auction system assisting their clients to avoid the many perils of bidding at auction.

Dwyer Fine Art executes bids on behalf of our clients ensuring every lot is acquired at the best possible price subject to reserves and other bidders. In the majority of circumstances this will save a buyer many thousands of dollars. Unlike a private bidder, Dwyer Fine Art is in the position to have very good knowledge, who and how much, is likely to be bid on an item. This can save our clients thousands with this information at hand. Consider a $50,000 painting secured at just a 10% better price though experience and expertise of our Bidding Service. This small saving alone (with Auction House Comission and GST) saves over $6,000. On a work worth $200,000 the savings are very attractive.

Dwyer Fine Art works strenuously to secure the right work and the very best price, and with the utmost confidentiality and discretion on behalf of all our valued clients.

Dwyer Fine Art puts our client's needs first and to that end can even advise on when not to bid and why, a critical decision when adding to a collection. Too often inexperienced clients that have not sought knowledgable and experienced Professional Advice and guidance, purchase on a whim, with later much regret. Dwyer Fine Art highlighyt and advise our clients on the many works in the auction sector that can be fraught with condition concerns and on-going issues. A significant percentage of paintings never find a home and are tired and unwanted in the marketplace. Dwyer Fine Art protects our clients from poor investments such as these.

Just as importantly Dwyer Fine Art advise our clients when to, and how much to pay passionately chase an Artwork in the public arena, regardless of published pre-sale estimate.

Finally, one of the main reasons collectors, investors and clients use Dwyer Fine Art Bidding Service is for their anonymity. Collectors often like to keep their purchases or sales out of the marketplace. Our Bidding Service, apart from saving money, maintains absolute discretion for clients at all times.
