At ArtInvestments, Inc., we do not have a standard fee schedule. Each client is judged individually on his or her talent, potential, and experience. For those artists judged by us to have exemplary skill or technique, we will structure a fee schedule based on a contingency basis. Our initial consultation at either your studio or gallery is without fee. We enjoy meeting talented new artists. It is our passion.
Sales
For sales, our typical percentage is 50% net of out of pocket costs, if a direct sale is consummated. We do not receive commissions on gallery sales; the gallery generally takes 50%. For 501(c)3 corporations we will reduce our fees accordingly to support these charitable efforts.
Appraisals
Appraisal fees are generally invoiced at the rate of $350 per hour. However, we generally work on a single payment basis with expenses charged at a 15% markup. The typical USA contemporary artwork valued at $20,000 will warrant an appraisal fee of $4,000. Appraisal fees for Swedish, Chinese, and Central European generated contemporary art invoiced at $500 per hour.
Consulting and Logistics
Services such as public relations, gallery logistics, organizing receptions, generating press releases, constructing Facebook and Twitter accounts and maintenance of them are invoiced at the rate of $250 per hour.
Corporate Art Leasing Programs
Fees vary depending on the quality, number, and length of program. Our minimum art leasing program is for a six month period; however, we will do shorter periods for non-profits and benefits. In addition to our fees are fees for insurance appraisals, and security, if required.
