Welcome to Auctioneum, the South West’s premier destination for buying and selling exceptional artwork. As leading fine art auctioneers, we operate dynamic salerooms across both Bristol and Bath, offering a seamless, professional auction experience. Whether you prefer the thrill of bidding live in person, the convenience of online bidding from anywhere in the world, or setting up telephone and commission bids, we cater to every preference.
At Auctioneum, we believe great art should be accessible. We hold regular, curated antique and fine art auctions featuring a vast, eclectic array of artwork tailored to every taste, style, and budget. From seasoned investors to first-time buyers looking for a standout piece, our catalogue covers centuries of artistic expression.
Our upcoming and past auctions showcase an incredible variety of mediums, including:
Traditional Masterpieces: 17th-century to 19th-century oil paintings, delicate watercolours, sketches, and classic pastels.
Modern & Contemporary Art: Vibrant silkscreens, limited edition prints, drawings, and striking sculptures.
Urban & Modern Movements: Cutting-edge graffiti art, canvas works, and street art from internationally renowned artists.
Our locations are steeped in art history, providing the perfect backdrop for our fine art sales.
The stunning landscapes of the West Country have inspired creators for centuries. In our sales, you will frequently find stunning 19th-century landscapes capturing iconic local landmarks across Bristol and Bath, such as the breathtaking Avon Gorge, world-famous Clifton Suspension Bridge and the fine Georgian streets and views of Bath.
Fast forward to the modern era, and Bristol has cemented itself as the global nerve centre of the street art and graffiti movement since the 1990s. As the home of the legendary UpFest - the UK's largest street art festival that attracts thousands of global visitors each year - our Bristol connections allow us to source and sell highly sought-after urban and contemporary prints.
While our reach is global, our roots are local. Our dedicated fine art auctions are hosted in our beautiful Bath salerooms, offering a welcoming space for public viewings and live, in-person bidding.
