The government has introduced new anti-money laundering measures which will affect all art dealers, galleries and their clients as of 10th January 2020. This is an EU-wide legislation to which the UK will abide irrespective of Brexit.
Similar legislation is also expected to be introduced in the US in the near future. We will have to take, and be seen to take, all reasonable steps to mitigate the risks of money laundering occurring in the course of our business, including the risks of being paid with illegally obtained funds.
As part of these obligations and before the completion of any sale, Hang-Up Pictures Ltd will be legally obliged to carry out identification and screening checks on all clients buying from our gallery. These checks are broadly similar to those carried out by banks when you open up a bank account and have already been put in place by the major international auction houses.
For individuals, we will require a copy of a valid photo identity document such as a passport, driving license or national ID card which confirms their full name, date of birth, nationality and permanent residential address.
For companies, we will require company details including evidence of incorporation, directors and the ultimate beneficial owners. In a situation where an agent/advisor is acting on behalf of a buyer, we will be required to identify the ultimate buyer in addition to the agent.
Payments received by the gallery will have to be received from a bank account held in the name of the person or entity named on the invoice. In the event that you wish for a third party to pay for a purchase on your behalf, you will have to seek our prior authorisation to do this and if the information you provide to us doesn’t meet these new legal requirements, unfortunately, we will have to reserve the right to refuse third party payments.
We ask you to bear with us whilst we carry out these mandatory checks before the completion of a sale of a work of art. Please understand that we are obliged to do this for all our clients, even those with whom we have dealt in the past, but rest assured that we will do our best to make the process as quick and efficient as we possibly can.
We assure you that the information which you provide to us will be held and processed in accordance with our privacy policy and will remain secure and confidential at all times. If you have any questions please contact us at info@hanguppictures.com.

It is our gallery policy that we are unable to hold works without a deposit.
A 20% deposit will secure the work and full payment is expected within in 7 days. If you are unable to pay within this time frame and you do not notify the gallery of your circumstances, the deposit will be non-refundable and held as credit for future purchases. -
American Express cards can be used to pay for artwork at the gallery. There is no charge for doing so on any amount under £10,000.
To cover the processing fees that American Express charge the gallery a 3% surcharge will be added to the invoice total for all AMEX transactions exceeding £10,000. -
Certain editions are sold 'staggered' which means that the price will rise in increments as the edition sells. If we are selling on behalf of a publisher it is our contractual obligation to match the price. Whilst we strive to ensure pricing is correct if the publisher's price has recently changed and not yet been updated on the website you will be notified and have the option to continue with the sale or not.
-
POA is an abbreviation for Price on Application. We try to put prices on all of the prints but often the higher and more sought after items will be marked as POA. This is due to the fact that the market can move quickly with prices rising based on auction results, new exhibitions and announcements relevant to the artist.
We will also mark some consigned pieces as POA so we can confirm availability before any online order is processed.

In order to comply with legislation, we are legally required to obtain and check identity documents for all of our customers who purchase a piece of art worth €10,000 or more from Hang-Up Gallery, or who spend more than €10,000 with us in a single transaction.
This means that we have to ask you for a copy of a valid photo identity document, such as a passport, driving license or national ID card so that we have proof of your full name, date of birth, nationality and address on record.
This must be a photo or a clear scan of your document. It cannot be a photo of your identity document on a screen, like your laptop or your phone.
Please understand that we are obliged to apply these checks, regardless of whether you are a new or a longstanding collector. Please also bear with us while we carry out these checks – we will do our best to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible for you. We're required to retain the information which you provide to us for 5 years. It will be held and processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy and will always remain secure and confidential.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate in contacting us to discuss them.

The majority of the Banksy work sold via the gallery is done so on the margin scheme. VAT cannot be isolated and broken out on the invoice even when sold and invoiced within the United Kingdom. Further information on the margin scheme can be found here.
-
In the interest of client confidentiality and to prevent fraud, it is gallery policy to only disclose edition numbers for Banksy prints to the final buyer.
-
We offer a full insurance valuation service at the gallery for Banksy works.
We will require details of the print including an image, condition and where it was purchased. A Banksy appraisal expert will then evaluate this before issuing the valuation on gallery headed paper.
The letter will be signed and dated by the Gallery Director and can be used to assist for insurance purposes or simply for your own records.

The cost of this service is £75 + VAT.

This is a question we get asked a lot, and there is no straight answer as it is impossible to predict the future. We can say that his works have risen in price phenomenally over the past decade. In the last 24 months, prices have doubled for both signed and unsigned editions. We do not encourage to just purchase for investment, though. Choose a piece that you like and enjoy the artwork. Any financial benefits that come with it should be considered a bonus.
-
Unless the print has never seen the light of the day and has been stored flat since purchase direct from the publisher (which very few have) we steer away from using the word mint. We prefer to say there are 'no condition issues' and the print is in 'excellent condition'.
-
Banksy prints are extremely sought-after and collectable limited-edition artworks. As such, when new ones become available the market can be competitive often with collectors looking to purchase the same print.
The market can also move extremely fast with prices and availability changing very quickly. If a piece is left on reserve, it prevents other collectors from purchasing it.
For both these reasons it is gallery policy that without special discretion from the director, we will not hold Banksy works without a deposit. If you wish therefore to reserve a piece we ask for 20% of the sales price and once we have confirmation of payment the work will be removed from sale and marked as reserved.
Without a deposit, we will not be responsible if the print is no longer available even if you have asked us to reserve it.

Please contact the gallery directly for editioned canvases or unique works by Banksy.

COA's are issued by Pest Control. They can be applied for from the Pictures of Walls website. If the application is successful you will be contacted and a payment of £50 + VAT will be requested. You will then be issued a certificate of authenticity for your Banksy and it is ready to sell.
Be aware the process is by no means immediate and can take anything from a few days to a few months.
-
We will only sell Banksy prints with a COA (Certificate of Authentication) from the Pest Control Office and we recommend that you only purchase prints with this paperwork in place, whether purchasing from Hang-Up Gallery or elsewhere.
-
Condition is very important and should certainly be a key factor when purchasing Banksy works. All Banksy works sold with Hang-Up are condition checked and we are fully transparent with our clients.
15 years ago, Banksy prints were sold for less than £100 and not all were handled with the care and attention that one would expect today. For some prints, this can add to the history of the work as it creates a back story; a signature smudge or a screen overrunning adds to the individuality of the print. For others, it can be problematic and affect value. Cheap frames and non-archival materials can wreak havoc with artwork, particularly with staining from window mounts. If there are tears, creases, smudges, handling marks, corner damage, restoration damage etc. we ensure to notify clients of this and advise accordingly. -
Unframed Banksy works will be flat-packed and sometimes further packed with bespoke, foam-lined crating depending on the location of delivery.
For framed Banksy works, we will discuss with the client directly the shipping options that are available on a case-by-case basis. -
We send all Banksy COAs separately to the artwork itself, we do this for security reasons so please do not be alarmed.
When your work has arrived safely, the COA will be sent by next-day tracked mail in the UK or for clients outside of the UK, it will usually arrive within one week.
-
Pest Control is the handling service on behalf of Banksy. Pest Control can determine whether Banksy was responsible for making a particular piece of artwork and will issue a Certificate of Authentication (COA) if this is the case.
It was set up in 2008 and is a not-for-profit service that has been set up to help prevent innocent people from becoming victims of fraud. -
POA is an abbreviation for Price on Application. We try to put prices on all of the prints but often the higher and more sought after items will be marked as POA. This is due to the fact that the market can move quickly with prices rising based on auction results, new exhibitions and announcements relevant to the artist.
We will also mark some consigned pieces as POA so we can confirm availability before any online order is processed.
-
We have specialised in dealing with Banksy prints since 2008 and are currently the largest online dealer operating worldwide. We strive to offer the best possible purchasing experience. All works are condition checked and sold with full Pest Control authentication.
Our gallery staff are passionate, knowledgeable and always on hand to help you with any questions you may have. If you have any questions, please get in touch with us at info@hanguppictures.com.
-
For signed or unsigned Banksy limited edition prints, once the edition number is set and the works have been printed and sold, no more can be made. The screens that were used to produce the prints have been destroyed, meaning there is no possibility of reprinting. This strict adherence to limits in edition sizes ensures that the works maintain their rarity and, of course, their long-term value.

The artist’s royalty depends on the resale price. The higher the sale price of the artwork, the lower the overall royalty rate.
The royalty is worked out according to a sliding scale from 4% to 0.25%.
Hang-Up Gallery is committed to championing artists' rights and ensures the ARR is collected for relevant sales and paid to DACS.
-
The Artist's Resale Right means that artists could be entitled to a royalty each time their work is resold with the involvement of an auction house, gallery or dealer for €1,000 or more.
As of 1 January 2012, the Right in the UK was extended to cover sales of work by deceased artists still in copyright, which means that beneficiaries and heirs can now benefit. In the UK, copyright lasts for the lifetime of the artist plus 70 years after their death, to the end of that calendar year.
This is the most significant new right for visual artists and their heirs in recent times, giving them an ongoing stake in the value of the artist's work.

The Artist's Resale Right means that artists could be entitled to a royalty each time their work is resold with the involvement of an auction house, gallery or dealer for €1,000 or more.
As of 1 January 2012, the Right in the UK was extended to cover sales of work by deceased artists still in copyright, which means that beneficiaries and heirs can now benefit. In the UK, copyright lasts for the lifetime of the artist plus 70 years after their death, to the end of that calendar year.
This is the most significant new right for visual artists and their heirs in recent times, giving them an ongoing stake in the value of the artist's work.
