Artist’s Resale Right
The purchase of lots marked with the following symbol ♠ in our catalogues will be subject to payment of the Artist’s Resale Right, which is calculated as a percentage of the hammer price as follows.
| Portion of the Hammer Price (in EUR) | Royalty Rate |
|---|---|
| From 0 to 50,000 | 4% |
| From 50,000.01 to 200,000 | 3% |
| From 200,000.01 to 350,000 | 1% |
| From 350,000.01 to 500,000 | 0.5% |
| Exceeding 500,000 | 0.25% |
The Artist’s Resale Right applies where the hammer price is EUR 1,000 or more, subject to a maximum royalty per lot of EUR 12,500. Calculation of the Artist’s Resale Right will be based on the pounds sterling/euro reference exchange rate quoted on the date of the sale by the European Central Bank.
