Welcome to Locker 227 - an online database of Australian art auction records.

We currently have over 70,000 auction records from over 5,000 Australian artists.  Please note that to access the auction records you will need to login, and if you do not already have a username and password, you will also need to register.  Registration is free, and takes only a couple of minutes. See the login and registration links on the left hand side of the page.

Once you have explored the site on the free membership, you can decide to upgrade to a Premium Member, which will give you access to realised prices, artwork image and details links, statistics on realised prices, and the ability to subscribe to watchlist email alerts, which will allow us to send you an email when artwork coming up for auction by artists on your watchlist is added to the site.

A good place to start is the 'artists' link under the left menu, where you can find the artist you are interested in, then click on various links relating to that artist.  Other features of the site are listed below.
