<p>[QUOTE=&quot;journeymagazine, post: 415516, member: 84&quot;]Hello all - below is email from Skinner!</p><p>Dear Charles:</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope this finds you well. Although it is difficult to evaluate works of art from digital images, my sense is that the Walker - what a shame about the condition - should be estimated at $3,000-7,000. This is a broad range that I would refine upon seeing the consignment in person. We accept consignments year round, and are currently taking consignments for our January 25th auctions of American and European works of art through November 2nd. Please keep in mind that for marketing purposes sooner is always better, and we do not charge for storage prior to auctions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Our commission structure is progressive and is based on the hammer price for each lot. The base commission is 30% for works hammering up to $1,000. For works hammering over $1,000 and under $10,000, the commission is 30% on the first $1,000 plus 20% on proceeds above $1,000. For works hammering above $10,000, the commission is 30% on the first $1,000, plus 20% on the next $9,000 (up to $10,000), plus 10% on any proceeds over $10,000. <i>The minimum fee to offer a lot - whether it sells or not - is $40.</i> This fee schedule includes pre-auction storage, cataloging, listing on the Internet, and advertising. Insurance is charged at a rate of 1½ %. Photography is charged at a rate of $50 for an image published both in the catalog and on the website; it is pro-rated to $10 if the lot appears only on the website </p><p>Should you wish to consign to Skinner, kindly enclose a copy of this correspondence in your parcel together with your postal address and telephone number, to assist us in expediting the sale of your pieces. You may either make an appointment to deliver the consignment to one of our galleries or ship it. Should you choose the latter, the consignment should be shipped to my attention at the Marlborough gallery (the address is below). Once we have inspected the consignment, we will forward a receipt/contract agreement to you, finalizing the estimates. You will then need to sign and return to us the top copy of this document.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have any questions, or if I can be of further assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your interest in Skinner.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sincerely,</p><p>Robin S.R. Starr</p><p>Vice President</p><p>Director, American &amp; European Works of Art[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
