Forum Auctions is London’s specialist auction house for Books, Manuscripts, Prints (1500-2023), Maps, Banksy prints and other Editions and Works on Paper. Forum sits alongside the acclaimed Dreweatts country house auction room and both are owned by international art advisory group Gurr Johns. The market presence of our combined businesses rivals that of the global auction houses; overall sales exceed £100,000,000 supported by a valuations business that appraises in excess of £10,000,000,000 art and collectibles every year.

Forum handles over 15,000 items a year selling to a vast global network of buyers, regularly achieving world record prices. With a calendar of over fifty specialist auctions per year, we accept items at all price points (so long as there is an auction value!) and turnaround times from consignment to payment are typically less than 8 weeks.

Our auctions are globally marketed aided by the latest innovative technologies. We reach millions of active collectors through our use of digital marketing, including AI algorithms and aggregator platforms.

Our clients choose us because we maximise the value for every object within an entire collection and not cherry pick only the best items.
