Forum Auctions is pleased to offer bibliophiles this broad directory of modern Authors, Illustrators and Private Presses.
London-based Forum Auctions offers the most comprehensive calendar of auction sales for books and other works on paper. Our weekly ‘online only’ sale cycle is complimented by bi-monthly catalogued live auction sales held at Mayfair’s Westbury Hotel. Offering over 10,000 lots to market a year, we serve both collectors and sellers of books. Our commission rates are competitive and, for more valuable consignments, we are able to structure financial packages including pre-sale advances.
We welcome you to use this directory to review our track record of selling 20th Century works, either by author, illustrator or private press. Under each entry you will find a brief summary of the subject with commentary on which related items are the most sought after. We also list prices for those lots we have previously sold in past auctions as well as any lots due to be sold in the future. It naturally goes without saying that an edition’s value is normally predicated on not only rarity but also condition and any historic price information must be considered in such context.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can be of any assistance in either valuing works you may be considering selling, or advising you on forthcoming auction lots that you are interested in purchasing. In addition to our auction and valuation services, we have an active Private Treaty department that handles off-market and discrete transactions of both single volumes and whole collections.
