Fair Warning is a New York-based, app-native auction house for high-end contemporary and post-war art, founded by Loic Gouzer, the former chairman of post-war and contemporary art at Christie's. It sells a single hyper-curated lot at a time to a screened, members-only community of collectors, with bidding conducted entirely inside its iOS and Android app. The company also brokers private sales and has sold works including a Basquiat for $10.8 million and Elizabeth Peyton's 'Blue Liam' for $4.1 million.
One lot at a time instead of catalogued sales, an invitation-only bidder pool, and an app-only bidding experience that produced what press reported as the most expensive artwork ever sold through an app.
