Artist's Resale Right (ARR)

In February 2006 a law was passed whereby living artist's have a right to claim 4% of any monies over €1000 made on their paintings or works of art in the 'second-hand' auction market.  This means that if we sell a painting for €1000 or above, the purchaser has to pay an extra 4% of the hammer for Artist's Resale Right.  This is then passed on to DACS who administer ARR and pay out to the relevant artists.  We will mark these lots with a diamond symbol in the sale catalogue.

We operate a bidding number system.  All buyers must complete a saleroom registration form and collect a bidding number before the commencement of the sale.
