I talked to Steve, about 9 months ago, when I was interested in consigning some art, he was very helpful and informative.

I think HAs policy has changed since then, wanting more high end stuff for the feature auctions(5k minimum) but I would expect a better answer than we want expensive art!

Yes, not much of an answer on Heritage's part, but with due respect, I'm not sure what the point of your question was. If you've ever witnessed their auctions, you know what kind of artists and genres they are looking for. Again, not trying to be a , but what is the answer they could have given you that would have been more instructive? (shrug)

I was Just expecting something a bit more professional.

Something along the lines of...

Hello Sam

We are looking for art with a value of $XXX.

Thanks Lon

 

I have consigned with them before. and gotten great prices from them.

OK, got it it. Inquiring if there is a valuation cutoff in order to qualify for a certain type of auction would be worthwhile information. Your original post said you were inquiring about what sort of art and genres they wanted, which is what I didn't understand.
