Paintings, Watercolours & Drawings
McTear’s sells more paintings than any other auction house or art gallery (public or private) in Scotland. There are two dedicated formats alternating on a five week schedule. All Pictures sales are held on Tuesday evenings, starting at 6.00pm
The Scottish Contemporary Art Auctions are staged every 10 weeks and feature approximately 400 paintings from private collectors and brand new work from selected “established” artists. This unique format was started in 2008 and soon established McTear’s as the single largest outlet in the world for contemporary Scottish paintings – the very dominant market leader.
Fine Paintings sales are staged every 10 weeks and feature paintings of any origin and of any era but usually with a strong contingent of early 20th century Scottish pictures. Examples of the work of “The Glasgow Boy’s” usually feature within “Fine Paintings” and in recent years, McTear’s have generated record figures for many of Scotland’s most distinguished names.
McTear’s offers sellers a route to a genuinely global audience of buyers and collectors but offer outstanding value for money with significantly lower selling costs than our major competitors. Selling successfully at auction is all about achieving the highest NET return for your paintings.
