The Auction Barn respects the cultural space and economic interests of Australian Indigenous artists and their communities.
Since June 2021 The Auction Barn introduced a new policy in relation to the consignment of Indigenous art works. All Indigenous artworks must be accompanied by:
- Documentation linking the artwork to an Indigenous artist via a Community Art
Centre, agent or similar primary representative, including but not limited to signatures, photographs of the artist with the work, Community Art Centre catalogue details and biographical details of the artist - Research documentation supporting ethical provenance as determined by specialists, including but not limited to direct lineage to the artist, particularly in cases where the works have been created prior to the advent of Community Art Centres, or have been created outside the support of a Community Art Centre organisation
For further information on this policy, kindly contact The Auction Barn.
