Resale right fee: Pursuant to § 26 UrhG (German Copyright Act), the seller is obliged to pay a statutory resale right fee on the sale proceeds of all original works of fine art and photography whose authors have not yet died 70 years before the end of the calendar year of the sale. The consignor is charged a flat rate of 1% of the hammer price for this fee, plus statutory VAT if applicable, and is thus exempt from his own obligation to pay the resale right.
The cost of illustrations is graduated according to size (from € 50 to € 600).
We will be happy to arrange favorable transportation for you upon request.
The items entrusted to us are insured at our expense.
We arrange professional restorations for you, if they seem recommendable for the sale.
