Sell Your Fine Art
Leverage personalized guidance, transparent pricing, and global reach to unlock the maximum value of your artwork.
Make 20-50% More Than Auction
We offer same-day purchase offers and global consignments, providing a confidential, customized sales strategy tailored to each artwork.
Same-Day Offers & Global Consignments
Receive competitive offers, secure escrow, and seamless logistics with expert guidance. Our data-driven valuations ensure accurate assessments to maximize your artwork’s potential.
1. Free, No-Obligation Artwork Valuations
Curious about selling your art? We offer complimentary, no-obligation valuations using advanced technology trusted by banks and appraisers to accurately assess your fine art.
2. Same-Day Purchase Offers
Avoid long auction waits and the months of uncertainty with platforms like Artnet or Artsy. Our same-day purchase offers allow you to sell art online or in person (Los Angeles) quickly and efficiently. Make the same amount as you would at auction, but without the hidden fees, lengthy wait times, or risk.
3. Maximize Returns with Global Consignments
If you have flexibility with timing, you can earn 30-40% more than auction by selling your art at retail pricing with transparent flat fees. Unlike selling at "wholesale" prices on zero-fee platforms, our global consignment program ensures you achieve the highest possible returns without the unpredictable costs of platforms & auction.
4. Seamless Transactions & White-Glove Service
Selling art with Mimesis is easy. We manage every aspect of the sale, from shipping to escrow, with white-glove service. Your artwork is securely handled, and we provide transparent communication every step of the way.
