A new feature of this online auction is the Early Bid. If you place your bidding limit by Wednesday, 9 September at 10 am at the latest and successfully purchase the artwork within this limit, you will benefit from a reduced buyer&rsquo;s premium of 20% instead of the standard 25%. To qualify for the reduced buyer&rsquo;s premium, your Early Bid must not be increased after this deadline. Any subsequent increase will be considered a new bidding limit and will therefore cancel your eligibility for the reduced buyer&rsquo;s premium.
