IMPORTANT NOTICE 

Droit de Suite Royalty Charges 

From 1st January 2012 all UK art market professionals (which includes, but is not limited to: auctioneers, dealers, galleries, agents and other intermediaries) are required to collect a royalty payment for all works of art that have been produced by living artists and works by artists who have died within the last 70 years (following the existing term of copyright). This is an extension of the previous legislation. Please note that payment of a royalty is not required in every case and will only be collected when the hammer price equals or exceeds £1,000. The threshold level is for estimation purposes only, and the auctioneer accepts no responsibility whatsoever if the qualifying rate is different to the rate indicated. The actual qualifying threshold will be calculated by the Artist's Resale Right Service Hub based on the European Central Bank reference rate published at 2.15pm on the day of the sale and can be found on www.dacs.org.uk. All items in this catalogue that are marked with ‘ä’ are potentially qualifying items, and the royalty charge will be applied if the hammer price achieved is more than £1,000. The royalty charge will be added to all relevant invoices, and must be paid before items can be cleared. All royalty charges are paid to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (‘DACS’), no handling costs or additional fees with respect to these charges will be retained by the auctioneer. The royalty charge that will be applied to qualifying items which achieve a hammer price of more than £1,000, but less than £50,000 is 4%. For qualifying items that sell for more than £50,000 a sliding scale of royalty charges will apply - for a complete list of the royalty charges and threshold levels, please seewww.dacs.org.uk. There is no VAT payable on this royalty charge. For all questions relating to the regulations regarding Droit de Suite royalty charges, please see www.dacs.org.uk, telephone+44 (0) 845 410 3410, or emailarr@dacs.org.uk.

Changes to ARR from 1st April 2024:

• All ARR payments will be calculated in Pounds.
• The maximum ARR royalty is capped at £12,500.
