Sell art
Selling art through Lindqvist Contemporary gives you access to a discreet, structured process shaped around your goals as a seller. We support clients who wish to sell art, whether that means placing a painting, a sculpture, a Contemporary Artwork or a Blue-Chip Artwork from the Post-War period.
Our network allows us to handle sales privately and efficiently, often before an artwork ever reaches the public market.
Why choose a private sale instead of auction
A private sale can be the most strategic way to sell fine art.
Compared to auction, private transactions offer:
-
Full confidentiality
-
Predictable and controlled pricing
-
Direct access to qualified collectors
-
Faster timelines
-
More favorable financial outcomes without auction fees.
For clients considering whether to sell Aontemporary Art, divest post-war works or explore the differences between a private art sale vs auction, private placement often provides greater stability and discretion.
Our process
for confidential art sales
Grounded in Theo Lindqvist’s client-first philosophy, each step of the process is handled with precision and discretion. Each artwork is placed securely and strategically, in alignment with the seller’s goals.
Valuation & market analysis
We provide independent valuation based on provenance, condition, institutional relevance and global market data. This applies whether you plan to sell paintings, sell sculpture or offer a Blue-Chip artwork for private acquisition.
Access to trusted buyers
Our long relationships with galleries, advisors and collectors allow us to place works directly and discreetly. It is an advantage when clients prefer to sell art privately or avoid the volatility of auction.
Negotiation & optimal terms
We negotiate on your behalf to reach favourable terms that reflect the artwork’s current market position, ensuring that the terms of the private sale align with your expectations.
Secure transaction & full-service logistics
We handle contracts, payments, transport, customs and insurance. This approach provides a structured and seamless experience from initial discussion to final placement.
