How to Bid

You will need to provide your name, address, telephone number and banking or credit information as required by the saleroom where you wish to bid. You may bid in person but if you cannot attend an auction, leave a written bid, or an absentee bid online via Lotfinder.

Absentee Bid Online via Lotfinder
We offer a secure way to submit absentee bids online up to approximately 24 hours before the day of the sale via Lotfinder. The catalogue is now available in Lotfinder on christies.com.

Written Bid
If you cannot attend the auction, you may choose to leave a written bid. A member of Christie's staff will try to secure the piece for you at the lowest price possible. Simply print out the absentee bid form, specify your maximum bid amount, fill in all other requirements and fax the form to the Bid Department to reach our hands at least 24 hours prior to the auction. Note that an absentee bid form is always provided in the back of all Christie's catalogues.

On the day of the sale, please leave yourself sufficient time to present your identification, sign the registration form and receive your bidding paddle.
