Deliveries, customs formalities and installations

We organize all our art transports with the greatest care, according to the type of work to be transported, its degree of fragility, as well as its destination.
We work with several specialized partners and a network of local relays for certain countries:
– Cadogan Tate for complex deliveries and installations,
– Convelio for worldwide transport,
– Fedex for very urgent deliveries, we have custom-made crates made by a Parisian craftsman, which allows us to deliver in only a few days in the USA.
We take care of all customs formalities and all our shipments are insured by Axa Art.
We also offer an installation service (available for most major destinations).

Presentation of works

The artworks shown on this site are not all exhibited at the gallery. We have a large stock of works in Paris, so it is easy for us to organize a presentation of some of your choice. We also offer home presentations.
We are also at your disposal to schedule video-conference meetings with the gallery’s artists.

Financing and leasing of artworks

We work with several partners who specialize in art financing.
Financial leasing, or leasing with an option to buy (LOA), allows companies to acquire a work of art or a piece of furniture for the fitting out of their professional spaces, while benefiting from an advantageous financing solution.
– Vector of image and communication
– Tax savings with 100% deductible rent
– Spreading of rental charges from 13 to 48 months
– Possibility of exercising the purchase option with acquisition at residual value (LOA)
– Paintings, sculptures, photographs, design furniture, NFT…
– Renting with an option to buy (LOA) has financial and fiscal advantages:
The rents are deductible from the taxable result and reduce the IS (Companies) or the IRPP (liberal professions). Renting allows you to spread the cost of the purchase over several years.
– Investing in art in a company
In addition to article 238 bis AB of the General Tax Code, leasing encourages the introduction of works of art in professional spaces, supports artistic creation and encourages companies to spread the values of creativity and openness. At the end of the lease contract, the works are sold for a residual value.
This financing comes within the framework of the decoration and fitting out of offices in account 6068 of the general accounting plan, with the condition of exhibiting the works in a place accessible to the public within the company (provisions applicable in France).

We are at your disposal to answer all your requests.
