New and easy guide to auctions

If you have had no or only scanty experience with the auction world, it may strike you as being a little unapproachable and mysterious perhaps. It is often felt, for example, that just by raising your hand to scratch your nose for an instant, you may wind up having bought an expensive Picasso. Many believe that auctions are reserved for a narrow circle of connoisseurs and collectors. We must point out, however, that auctions really are open to everybody and that you certainly do not risk your entire fortune just by accidentally scratching your nose! These are the kind of myths that Bruun Rasmussen’s new Internet guide now does away with.

In addition, it is also very important to Bruun Rasmussen that our customers get as positive an experience as possible. Attending an auction is a fascinating experience that you should not deprive yourself of. This is where you get a chance to buy rare and exquisite items that are otherwise very hard to find. While bidding for a work by your favourite artist you will feel the exhilarating stir of competition, and when the hammer comes down, the thrill of joy – or perhaps regret. In an effort to make your experience as rewarding as possible we have launched this Internet guide to make our auctions more transparent and accessible. We would like to give new guests at Bruun Rasmussen an idea of what traditional auctions are like and what kind of rules there is to follow when you attend one.

Using video clips from our previews and auctions the guide will tell you a little about the whole process of an auction, about what happens before, during and after an auction. It will answer some of the most frequently asked questions: What is a preview? What is the procedure? How do you make a bid? What does it cost? What are you supposed to do when the auction is over? Answers to these questions and many others can be found in the guide.
