A Better Way to Buy Art

Designed for collectors, artists and galleries who value fairness, privacy and simplicity.

Private Bids

Your bid remains private. The seller sees only the current highest bid amount, while other bidders never see any bids.

No Bidding Wars

Bid the maximum the artwork is worth to you. The highest bid wins without emotional bidding battles.

Gallery Friendly

Artworks can still be sold during exhibitions while protecting every bidder through Trovaval's rules.

Participation Credits

If you do not win, you decide whether to reveal the winning bid or keep your Participation Credit for another auction.

Increase Anytime

Increase your bid whenever you wish. If you change your mind, you may also withdraw it.

Win or Keep Your Credit

If you win, both you and the seller receive the information needed to complete the purchase. Otherwise, you may keep your Participation Credit or reveal the winning bid amount.
