We have written about the brilliant Auction Collective before, the platform founded by a former Christies expert that partners with emerging artists and galleries to host affordable auctions that are open to all and with 0% buyers commission. This spring they’re back with something a little different. The idea is to make owing art a reality for more people, so this time they are holding the auction in the middle of the day and at the weekend so that as many people as possible can access the works. Sold framed and ready to hang, the artworks are priced between £50 and £5,000 and the auction will take place on Saturday 23 March at 12pm. The show will feature 100 works in different mediums including sculpture, painting, photography and works on paper. Spend a Saturday moseying between Borough Market or Flat Iron Square and pick up some wonderful artworks whilst you’re at it. The Collective are also going to be partnering with some restaurants and cafes in the area – watch this space for more details. Here are some of our highlights from the auction:
