REGISTRATION & BIDDING

​

Prospective buyers must register to bid prior to the auction. 

​

Art Leven (formerly Cooee Art) offers several ways to participate in one of our auctions. Bidding forms are available online and in our showroom in Redfern during the auction preview. Bidding forms can be submitted in person, online or emailed. If you have not previously bid with Art Leven (formerly Cooee Art), upon receiving your bid form we will request photo identification, such as a drivers licence or passport.

​

You are required to register before bidding and supply your correct name, telephone contact and supplementary information. We may refuse entry and registration to our Website and our Sale and expressly reserve the right not to grant a Paddle to any applicant.

​

There are several ways to bid at an Art Leven auction:

​

In Person | Register as an Attendee - Our auctions are open to the public and held at our premises at 17 Thurlow Street, Redfern. We welcome your attendance if you are in Sydney. Once you have completed your registration you will be given a bidding paddle. When the hammer falls and you are the highest bidder you have entered a binding contract to buy the work. Click here to register as an Attendee Bidder

​​

​​Absentee | For those who prefer not to attend the auction in person or bid online, you can leave an Absentee bid with us by filling in the form found at the back of this catalogue, or contact the team at Art Leven prior to the auction. Once the team has confirmed your maximum bid on any lot, the Auctioneer will bid on your behalf up to, but not above, this amount. Click here to register as an Absentee Bidder

​

Telephone | By using this option, you can bid on any lot from anywhere in the world. You will be telephoned prior to your selected lot arising and one of our staff will act on your behalf and according to your instructions. An

auction can be quick so it is advisable that you give clear instructions to the person bidding on hour behalf. Click here to register as a Telephone Bidder

​

Online | You can bid for all Art Leven lots live and in real-time on our dedicated auction website at connect.invaluable.com/artleven  or on Invaluable. Please ensure you register to bid online prior to the auction. Art Leven does not take responsibility for any issues with bidding online and suggest you contact Art Leven prior to the auction to discuss the reliability and alternatives of bidding online.​

Online Absentee | Using either online platforms, you can leave a bid online for an artwork right up until the auction starts at 7pm. You leave your highest bid and you will be informed if someone bids higher than you. Note that you are only informed until the beginning of the auction at 7pm. If you are out bid by someone in the room or on the phones during the auction you will miss out. A good strategy is to leave the highest bid you are willing to buy the artwork for and the computer will keep bidding on your behalf up to that amount. No one is able to see your highest amount.
