Message from the Chairman & Managing Director
Bid & Hammer is India's only 'all category' auction house striving to service every type of collector. Headquartered in Bangalore, the emerging new art hub of the country after New Delhi & Mumbai, we are opening up the market in South India (a first for any full-service auction house!) and the rest of the country, to cater to the ever increasing pool of new domestic as well as global clientele base.
Our team of patrons & experts have a wealth of international experience allied to a deep understanding of the complex dynamics of the Indian market that we are utilizing to conduct regular generalist as well as specialist auctions covering Modern & Contemporary Art, Company School Paintings & Drawings, Silver, Furniture, Antiquarian Books, Maps, Prints, Photographs and a host of other Works of Art & Collectibles.
Having personally collected and dealt with art & antiques for over 30 years now, I have a firm belief that an auction platform to buy and sell art not only makes collecting enjoyable but also makes the market more transparent, besides giving collectors the freedom to fix a value that they deem appropriate for an art work. Thus, Bid & Hammer will always strive to raise the bar in terms of providing an efficient, competitive and trustworthy service to our clients in the burgeoning Indian market and beyond. We look forward to your continued support & participation in this development.
