I do not know how at the moment, but some time ago it was forbidden for the Anglo-Saxon auctions, as well as in France. Contracts deliverers lots were the relevant paragraphs.
In the "stretching" of prices, there are many methods. From "stool pigeons" and phones to a virtuoso imitation of interested buyers by the auctioneer. Such was once the Commissioner-medalist Guy Ludmer (incidentally, a little saying in Russian). This, of course, also illegal, as the union of several buyers to acquire the lot at the lowest price with a further auction-mezhdusoboychikom already out of the room sales.
In the institution McDougal practice persuasion Sellers prior to the sale to lower the reserve price is yet to samopriobreteniya promising lot. I do not know as it is now at the Anglo-Saxons, but in France it is forbidden.
As for not responding to the signals of the shop lots of uncertainty, it is their usual practice. Probably, many remember their catalog with work by Vladimir Stenberg on the cover (auction May 18, 2005). Before bidding granddaughter Stenberg (also a painter) and sent them an email, which stated that the family of the artist did not confirm the authenticity of this picture.
It was supposed to do the auction house? Normal, that is honest and decent simply withdraw the lot from the auction. Not really - at least, before selling paintings to announce the current opinion of the artist's family. Auctioneer-mail at and prior to the sale did not react, the opinion of the relatives of the bidders conceal work successfully sold. Several days later, the granddaughter Stenberg received from William McDougal joyful message stating that the lot sold well and that the auction house experts still believe the true picture. The family accepted this message as a mockery and insult.
