• How is Hang-Up different from auction houses?

  Auction can be prestigious, but it’s often fee-heavy, with long lead times and unpredictable outcomes. Many sellers simply want to sell for the best price and be paid promptly. We offer a focused, hands-on service from a small team, with clear communication, without multiple layered costs and uncertainty.

• Why trust Hang-Up over newer online-only galleries?

  There are many online-only operators now, and not all have physical premises or an established trading history. Hang-Up offers real-world accountability, a team you can reach, and a public reputation built over time backed by our Google reviews.

• Do you give a sell range and what happens when an offer comes in within that range?

  Yes. Buyers typically negotiate, so we often agree a sell range. We’ll negotiate firmly to achieve the best result and push toward the top end where the market allows. If an offer comes in within the agreed range, we can proceed efficiently to keep momentum.

  The seller is responsible for getting the artwork to the gallery (and covering the cost). We can organise collection/shipping if helpful and confirm costs in advance.

• How do you handle condition checks and what happens if there’s damage?

  On receipt we photograph the work and record condition notes. If damage occurs en route to the gallery, the consignor is responsible. Once the work is received and consignment is agreed, it is fully insured while in our care until sale.

  Banksy prints are a specialist market. Few galleries have the depth of experience Hang-Up has in this area. With 18 years of trading, an established collector base and repeat buyer demand, we’re well placed to achieve strong outcomes with strict authenticity standards and confidentiality as standard.
