    • 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.

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • 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 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 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.

      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.

      Link to this Article >

    • 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.
