Bidding Open: Ready to bid on great artworks? Our user-friendly platform makes it easy. Simply visit the Lot Page and click the ‘Bid’ button to place your bid. You’ll receive email updates if your bid status changes. Remember, registration and verification are required before you can participate.

Lots Begin Closing: Lots begin closing at the time specified on the auction page, with each lot closing independently at 60-second intervals. Closing times are subject to change. If a bid is placed within 60 seconds, the bidding time extends, and the countdown resets to 60 seconds.

Remember to keep an eye on lots you're bidding on until bidding closes. You can track your bids and lots in the 'My Bids' section of your account.

The email will include an invoice and outline the next steps for Payment and Shipping. Your invoice will detail the Hammer Price, along with other applicable charges such as the Buyer’s Premium and any local taxes. Additionally, in certain locations, Artwide is required to collect a resale royalty ('droit de suite').
