WANTED
We are pleased to announce the introduction of our
"ART BUYER LOCATOR SERVICE".
This
service is designed to help owners of Group of Seven paintings
and original prints (and Contemporaries of the Group) find
Buyers for their paintings. Using our wide International network
of Art Collectors and Dealers, we can help find the right
way for you to sell your painting. We can also arrange shipping,
insurance and appraisal/ authentication services.
It's
Easy!
Just email
us at siteinfo@shaw.ca
as many of the details listed below along with a digital jpeg

North Vancouver, B.C., CANADA
V7L 1A3
or
e-mail the details to us at: siteinfo@shaw.ca
There
are no up-front fees for this service* to those Sellers that
decide to sell with us. We will review the submission and
contact you with our recommended course of action that will
help you get the widest exposure and best return on your painting.
*If
a particular work is easily authenticated and identified,
we usually do not pass on authentication or appraisal costs
to the Seller. In some extreme cases where authentication
is difficult, we reserve the right to invoice the Seller for
these costs or a portion thereof. These are typically $250.00
in each instance and typically do not exceed $500.00 in total,
plus the selling commission.
All new artwork postings will be charged a $250.00 posting
and administrative fee. If you are selling on consignment
with us, this fee is refundable to
you if we sell the artwork at a price of over $5,000
on your behalf.
What's in it for Sellers?
We
will find you the most efficient means of selling your artwork.
Because we have low overhead and typically incur low costs
until a Buyer is found, we do not charge high Gallery commissions
(usually Galleries charge a 50% commission to the Seller).
That means more money for you, and often a reasonable price
for the Buyer. Everybody wins.
What's
in it for us, you may ask?
Our
Commission Structure is as follows - which also includes and
covers fees that we may have to pay to our Affiliated Associate
Dealers and Organizations:
- Artworks
valued at $5,000 - $20,000 Cdn are charged 20% of the selling
price**.
- Artworks
valued from $20,001 - $75,000 Cdn are charged 15% of the
selling price.
- Artworks
valued over $75,001 Cdn are charged 10% of the selling price.
- Commissions
for extraordinary artworks valued over $250,000 can be negotiated.
**
All consigned artworks are subject to a minimum charge of
$500.00 Cdn (for artworks valued under $2,500) which includes
the initial $250.00 administrative/ posting fee.
