2. When you decide that you are interested in bidding on a work of fine art from an auction house you must register with the auction house to become a bidder. A registration form is usually available on the auction house website or you can request one be forwarded to you by contacting the auction house. The registration form will ask you for contact information and how you would like to participate in the auction.

3. Telephone bidder – select this option if you cannot attend the auction but would like to participate live as a phone bidder when the work(s) of art in which you are interested are being offered. An auction house representative will call you at the specified phone number just prior to the work(s) of art being offered. The representative will call out the price currently bid and current price being asked. You can then decide if you want to bid. This process goes fast, usually under a minute a lot. It is a good strategy to decide how high you would like to bid prior to your artwork(s) being offered.

4. Absentee bidder – select this option if you are not available the day or time of the auction. You select which work(s) of art in which you are interested along with your top bid limit or the most you are willing to spend on a particular work of art. An auction representative will then bid on your behalf at the starting price for the work of art up to but not over your top bid limit. Note that typically your top bid limit does not include the buyer’s premium. The 2023 Fall Larsen Art Auction will be held Saturday, October 21st beginning at 10:00 am MST (PDT). All lots are now available to view in person at the Larsen Gallery in Downtown Scottsdale.
