ARR

Artist’s Resale Right

Some lots as indicated in the catalogue may be subject to Artist’s Resale Rights (ARR).

This was introduced by a European Directive in 2006 to ensure that artists receive a royalty when their work is resold by an auction house or gallery. This Right applies to living artists and to those who have died within the last 70 years who are from applicable countries. This royalty is paid by the purchaser on top of the hammer price if the sale price reaches or exceeds 1000 euros.

The maximum royalty a work can earn is capped at 12,500 euros.
