Selling Your Artwork On Consignment

"One of the things I like about our contract is that you have relieved me of a great deal of personal interviewing and corresponding, among other things, which allows me a lot more time for painting" - E.J. Hughes

The South African art market has shown exponential growth over the last two decades and the value of art together with its demand is on an upward trajectory. There is however very little regulation in the art market which creates a conducive environment for abuse and exploitation of artists and the art market as a whole. Practice has shown that artists and art dealers, who act as the middleman between the artist and collectors, often enter into verbal agreements based on mutual trust to sell the artist's artwork at an agreed commission rate.
