HIDDE VAN SEGGELEN complies with the Gallery Fair Practice Code
The code:
HIDDE VAN SEGGELEN complies with the Gallery Fair Practice Code
The code:
- The gallery records in writing the relationship between
the gallery and the artist, including agreements regarding the duration
of the agreement, prices and any applicable discounts. Other matters
that may be recorded in this document include: monitoring and evaluation
of the agreements, both parties’ targets (e.g. regarding international
visibility), the relationship with a second gallery, agreements
regarding the settlement of any discounts, regarding commissions from
third parties, or the settlement of other expenses such as for
transport, photography, insurance or the construction of an exhibition.
- The artist remains the owner of their work until the full amount is paid to the gallery, with the exception of secondary trading. This also applies in the case of gallery bankruptcy or attachment.
- The gallery shall transfer the full artist’s share of the sales price agreed with the customer within 60 days following the sale of the artist’s work, and provide the artist with the buyer’s name and address details, and a copy of the invoice.
- Unsold artworks in the charge of the gallery must always be returned to the artist within a month, if requested by the artist.
- The relationship between galleries may involve competition and
rivalry, but in the case of different galleries representing the same
artist, the galleries should in all respects remain loyal to the
interests of the artist in question. If a gallery exclusively represents
an artist, thereby acting as their ‘mother gallery’, and another
gallery would like to organise an exhibition with this artist, the
involved parties should make written agreements regarding the conditions
under which the exhibition can be held.
- The gallery is expected to be professional and competent, and to maintain this professionalism and competence.
- The gallery vouches for the authenticity of the work that they are selling. In the case that a work is adjudged to be fake by a recognised independent party, the customer may return the work to the gallery owner and have the amount paid for the work refunded.
- A gallery states the following on their website: their objectives, programme, working method and the artists that they represent.
- A gallery is expected to act in accordance with the Fair Practice Code (fairpracticecode.nl), which includes an assurance against inappropriate behaviour at the gallery and elsewhere.
