The bill proposing the reduction was submitted to the Senate by David Assouline, a Socialist party member representing the city of Paris. Assouline argued that a higher rate on direct sales is “a ludicrous situation that penalises the French scene and does not correspond to any economic logic”.

VAT on the sale of art in France increased from 7% to 10% on 1 January last year while imports of (non EU) works of art, antiques and collectibles are subject to a reduced VAT rate of 5.5%. ]]> Mon, 26 Jan 2015 19:26:23 +0100 http://www.e-antique.eu/news/sleeper_constable_sketch_back_on_the_auction_block_with_s2m-s3m_estimate_15.php http://www.e-antique.eu/hirek/sleeper_constable_sketch_back_on_the_auction_block_with_s2m-s3m_estimate_15.php
When the oil sketch came up for sale at South Kensington in July 2013, Christie’s catalogued it as by a “follower of John Constable” and estimated it at £500-£800. The unnamed buyer later confirmed that the work had been heavily retouched in the late 19th or early 20th century, depriving it of its lively, sketchy quality, but it has now been cleaned.

The painting was examined by Anne Lyles, a specialist on Constable, who dated it to 1829-30. She determined that the oil sketch is by the artist’s hand and was among the preparatory works for the final painting, which Tate bought in 2013 for £23m. Lyles describes the study as “one of the most exciting and important additions to the master’s oeuvre to have emerged in recent decades”.

The 2013 seller of the newly discovered oil sketch was the family of Viscount Hambleden, whose ancestors probably acquired it by the early 20th century. It was among several hundred items they sold at Christie’s South Kensington. These included another sleeper lot, The Embarkation of St Paula, which was originally catalogued as “after Claude Lorrain” and estimated at £15,000-£25,000. Shortly before the sale, Christie’s suspected that it might be more important, and it was withdrawn and later sold as an authenticated work by Claude, going for just over £5m at King Street in December 2013.

While Bill Ruprecht and Steven Murphy had different reasons for standing down as chief executives of Sotheby’s and Christie’s, market insiders say that if all had been going swimmingly, they would still be in their jobs.

It’s the economics

Jim Chanos, who heads the New York hedge fund Kynikos and has been publicly shorting (betting against) Sotheby’s shares since early 2014, reiterated his negative opinion at an investment forum in London in November. Last month he told reporters at Bloomberg that his view had not changed, despite the shake-up at the top: “It’s the economics of the business.”

The issue is not so much profits, which both auction houses make (as Christie’s is a privately owned company, this cannot be independently verified), but profitability—the percentage earned from their visibly high-value sales.

At Sotheby’s, auction commission margins (total commissions revenue as a percentage of total sales without premium) have fallen from 16.5% in 2011 to 16.3% in 2012, then 15.9% in 2013. The 2014 numbers are not yet out, but for the first half of the year they had fallen again: to 14.9%.

Meanwhile, at Christie’s it seems likely that the $50m Murphy says he spent on upgrading the auction house’s online capabilities (which many believe to be a conservative estimate) will take a while to reap benefits. Christie’s online sales for the first half of 2014 were £8.7m, or 3.2% of its total sales.

Punchy fees

It seems crazy that the auction houses may be struggling while ever larger sums are being spent on art—and when they charge punchy fees at both ends of transactions. Buyers’ commissions go up to 25% at the big two, with discretionary sellers’ fees topping at around 15%. Christie’s recently confirmed an additional 2% fee should a work sell for above its own estimates—an arrangement Sotheby’s also operates, if on a more informal basis.

One problem, says David Schick, a research analyst at the US investment firm Stifel, is that most of the heat has been at the top end of the contemporary and Modern art markets, where the opportunities are “thin” compared with the broader $100,000 to $500,000 range. At this top end, the commissions are lower—buyers pay 12% over $2m and sellers’ fees are often waived.

“Both houses are after headline prices, which limits profitability,” Schick says, attributing this to “a number of soft years” since the 2008 downturn. Plus, the auction houses have been offering incentives such as guarantees and profit shares to prime sellers.

“They’ve made it harder by competing against each other … you hear about some suicidal deals,” says Pilar Ordovas, a London dealer, formerly the deputy chairman of Christie’s Europe’s post-war and contemporary art department.

Auction houses also need a lot of wriggle room, given how unpredictable their sales and external influences can be. Sotheby’s spent $20.1m defending itself against the criticism of its investor Dan Loeb—now a member of its board—in the first nine months of 2014, nearly half of its net profit for the period.

Time to shrink?

“Their business models need adjusting—they need to shrink their cost base,” says Edward Dolman, who last year bucked the trend by joining an auction house, Phillips, as its chief executive (he was at Christie’s for 27 years, latterly as chief executive before Murphy). Dolman believes that the “massive change in taste” towards contemporary and Modern art should lead to certain departments going—he cites furniture and even Old Masters. “They could shed half of their business,” he says.

While it suits Dolman’s strategy to say this, some of the numbers support him: Phillips has a staff of 200, while Sotheby’s has around 1,600; Christie’s around 2,200. Phillips’ more nimble cost base means that “we don’t need much… It would take an extra $200m of revenues next year to be much more profitable,” Dolman says.

An alternative is to avoid throwing all resources at the top and seek the broader market, a model that Bonhams, which has 60 departments, says has been the secret of its success. Chairman Robert Brooks says that profits at Bonhams—another private business— were more than £30m for 2013.

Schick believes that Sotheby’s, at least, may not need to change radically: “Sotheby’s has yet to broaden its luxury brand—there are opportunities.” Ordovas says that the expected reorganisation at both companies “gives a chance to redirect things”.

Meanwhile, competition is hotting up. Online auctioneers, such as Paddle8, charge lower commissions (their top buyers’ premium is 15%), as do China’s fast-growing auction houses (Guardian’s top fee is also 15%). More traditional auction houses can also be expected to seize on disruption at the big two to lure staff and win business. “[Sotheby’s and Christie’s] have fought a battle between themselves to maintain a duopoly,” Dolman says. “Now is the time for some of the inefficiencies to come out.”]]> Mon, 26 Jan 2015 19:21:39 +0100 http://www.e-antique.eu/news/new_york__8217_s_first_italian_sale_to_look_beyond_arte_povera_13.php http://www.e-antique.eu/hirek/new_york__8217_s_first_italian_sale_to_look_beyond_arte_povera_13.php
The Phillips sale, billed as the first major Italian auction in New York, will feature works by artists including Paola Pivi, Roberto Cuoghi and Maurizio Cattelan—who is perhaps the biggest name on the block. It comes at a time of heightened growth in the Italian art market; in London last October, the previous record for an Italian art sale was beaten twice, when Christie’s made £27.6m and then Sotheby’s achieved £41.4m the following night. Records were set at Sotheby’s for artists including Piero Manzoni (£12.6m) and Enrico Castellani (£3.8m).

Bonami says interest for Italian art is also growing in the US. “I always felt that the richness and depth of Modern and contemporary Italian art has been overlooked and undervalued,” he says. “There are a few names demanding high prices but there is much more to discover. If you are not following the beaten path you can still get masterpieces at a great value. New York is then the perfect platform.”

The curator, who organised a part-selling show of contemporary sculpture at Phillips London last October, says he is approaching the sale as he would his other shows and is looking for specific works to develop his concept. “The difference is that in this case the show will be for sale in a public auction,” he says.

Rome, From Mount Aventine, sold for £30.3 million, including buyer's premium, easily beating its estimate of £15-20 million.

The result also represents the highest price for any pre-20th Century British artist ever sold at auction, a spokeswoman said.

Four bidders competed for the work, driving the price ever higher, before it was bought by one of them on the phone to the central London saleroom.

The auction coincided with a wider moment of interest in JMW Turner, with a ground breaking exhibition at Tate Britain and Mike Leigh's film Mr Turner, starring Timothy Spall.]]> Fri, 02 Jan 2015 13:23:53 +0100 http://www.e-antique.eu/news/the_top_10_auction_lots_of_2014_6.php http://www.e-antique.eu/hirek/the_top_10_auction_lots_of_2014_6.php Fri, 02 Jan 2015 13:10:15 +0100 http://www.e-antique.eu/news/photographs_auction_record_set_at_sothebys_5.php http://www.e-antique.eu/hirek/photographs_auction_record_set_at_sothebys_5.php
