This can be done by means of an e-mail, normal mail (see the bid form in the catalog), during the viewing days, through this website or by telephone. The bids are blinded and only known to the Auctioneer. These bids will be included in the live auction by the Auctioneer. In some cases, it is possible to make your bids (in particular, the more expensive lots) by telephone during the auction.
