Consigning

There are no unexpected deductions from your Agreed Net Price

Ordinary transaction costs, including Hang-Up’s margin and, where applicable, Artist’s Resale Right, VAT, packing, insurance, photography, marketing and other sale-related costs, are reflected in the buyer-facing price.

Any exceptional seller-side costs will be clearly identified and agreed with you in advance.

In some cases, yes. Depending on the work and current demand, we may offer to purchase it outright rather than sell it on consignment.

No. Any offer that would result in less than your Agreed Net Price will be referred to you for approval.

No.

We provide evidence-based valuations designed to achieve the strongest credible result in the current market. We do not deliberately overvalue works to secure them and then rely on repeated price reductions.

We use a broad range of current market evidence, including public auction results, private auction data, gallery sales, private transactions, recent negotiations, current availability and direct buyer demand.

We also consider the condition, provenance, rarity, edition, size and market position of the specific work.

Auction results normally report the hammer price rather than the amount ultimately received by the seller.

The auction house may then deduct seller’s commission, VAT on fees, Artist’s Resale Right, insurance, photography, marketing, transport, storage and other charges.

If the work does not sell, the seller may also face unsold-lot fees, insurance, transport, storage or withdrawal-related costs, depending on the auction house’s terms.

With Hang-Up, the amount you are due to receive is agreed in advance. You also avoid the risk of a public unsold result, which can affect the future marketability of the work.

Hang-Up is a commercial gallery and will offer your artwork at a price that reflects the current market, our sales strategy and the costs of completing the transaction.

The buyer-facing price will be higher than your agreed net price The list price may not be the final price paid by the buyer depending on negotiations. The difference may include Hang-Up’s margin and, where applicable, Artist’s Resale Right, VAT, packing, insurance, shipping, framing, storage and other transaction costs.

Your Agreed Net Price remains the amount payable to you following a completed sale.

No. We cannot guarantee a buyer or a particular result, but every accepted consignment is priced and marketed with the objective of achieving the strongest possible outcome.

Your A Agreed Net Price is the amount payable to you.The buyer pays more that the Agreed Net Price as it includes the gallery commission and the costs associated with presenting, marketing and completing the sale.

Yes. The initial valuation is free and there is no obligation to proceed.

It is the amount Hang-Up agrees to pay you following a completed sale.

Any exceptional costs that could reduce this amount will be clearly identified and agreed before the consignment begins.

Artworks are often offered with room for negotiation.The initial list price may therefore be higher than the price we ultimately expect to achieve. This allows us to negotiate effectively while protecting your Agreed Net Price and maintaining the correct market position for the work.

Yes. Seller and buyer identities and transaction will remain confidential.
