ART AUCTIONS: FAQ

  1. Catalogues and pictures can’t be obtained online. The same applies to information concerning the outcome of an auction: sold or not sold.

  2. Catalogues and conditions can be acquired at the exposition prior to the auction.

  3. All artworks have been authenticated for their genuineness and are catalogued in good faith after having been examined by experts, connoisseurs, museums, foundations, or by the artist themselves. Some are accompanied by certificates, whether old or new. Gallery owners or other international auction houses.

  4. With us, you can also bid by phone.
    A second option is to have someone (friends, family, acquaintances, etc.) bid on your behalf.

  5. The catalogue is only available during the auction exhibition days. It is possible to submit a written offer. Ask us for a bidding form at the exposition prior to the auction.

  6. f you would like to submit artwork for the auction, please send it by email to veilingmeester@kiggen.art

  7. We are looking for (and will only accept): contemporary art. If your artwork does not apply to this category (e.g. antique art or Chinees porselein), we are happy to suggest an alternative auction house. Would you like to receive an invitation to our next auction? Please send an email with your name and address, along with your consent to receive an invitation, to veilingmeester@kiggen.art

  8. When buying a piece of art at one of our auctions, you will automatically receive an invitation for our upcoming auctions in your area.

  9. We offer a free audit and estimate of your modern and contemporary artwork during the exposition. By appointment only

  10. Like most auction houses, our artwork stems from private collections, inheritances, matters of indivisum, art handlers, art collectors, galleries, investors, notaries, curators, etcetera. Regardless of its origin, many people decide to sell an artwork simply because it is the right place and time. However, we always make sure to verify the source, materials, era and all other relevant features.

  11. You can have your artworks delivered to your home after the auction.
    Transport always takes place on the first Monday following the auction and can be reserved on Funday at the auction desk or by phone.

  12. Art is in! When you sell a personal artwork through an auction, you do not pay tax on any potential capital gain, nor on the total amount received. Purchasing modern art can often result in a sound investment.
