Returns after ten (10) calendar days:
CONTACT US. We accept the return of most items returned after ten (10) calendar
days for a store credit. Or we will resell the item for you on consignment.
Special
Order Returns:
We cannot accept returns or refund payment for some specially ordered items.
Prior to your order, we will advise you in writing if the item you are
ordering does not qualify for our standard return and refund policy. We
may offer store credit for a special order return, but that depends on
the item ordered. We will do everything possible to resell the work for
you on consignment, but we cannot guarantee this. Special orders should
be placed with this in mind.
Shipping:
We ship WORLDWIDE by the safest, fastest, and most cost effective means possible.
This is usually FedEx or UPS air or similar air carrier.
Art is packed appropriately for transport. Items containing glass must usually be crated at some additional expense. All custom prints are carefully rolled into sturdy, large diameter tubes for maximum protection during shipping. Your purchased art or print is fully insured in transit to you.
Shipping Charges:
Our prices do NOT include shipping, handling, or insurance. We charge you whatever
the freight costs are to us to ship your purchased art to you. We will ship
your purchased art to you freight collect, if you specify.
We can give you an estimate of the shipping charge here. The price of shipping may have little relevance to the value of the art. A small, but expensive original oil on canvas may cost you much less to ship than a limited edition large photograph framed behind glass.
Example shipping charges:
24” x 36” Photo rolled up in sturdy shipping tube: $25 within the
US, $75 to Europe
Framed Photo (no glass): $50 within the US, $125 to Europe
40” x 50” inch unframed oil on stretched canvas without frame (in
crate): $150 within the US, $250 to Europe
24” x 30” inch framed pastel with glass (in crate): $150 within
the US, $250 to Europe
Bronze sculpture (in crate): 150 lbs, $250 up depending on distance.
Condition:
Unless stated, each work is in excellent condition at the time it is shipped
to you. If appropriate, a condition report by a qualified conservator can
be included.
Insurance:
All works are fully insured for the entire purchase price while in transit
to you.
Sales Tax:
Our prices do NOT include sales tax (if applicable). We add sales tax if required
by law.
Damage:
If the outside container shows any damage when you receive it:
· Remain calm. The art inside the container is most likely undamaged.
· Try to open the damaged container in the driver’s presence. If
this is not possible, at least note the damage on the freight bill when signing
for it.
· If possible, photograph the outside of the container.
· If the art is undamaged when you open the container and remove the art,
display it proudly as you please.
· If the art is damaged, CONTACT US immediately. We will advise you how
to proceed.
· Do not handle damaged art unnecessarily, as this could exaggerate the
damage.
· IMPORTANT: Save all packing materials. Failure to do so may cause the
freight carrier to deny a claim.
Authenticity:
We guarantee each work sold to be as described. When available, catalogue references
are included with the work. For limited edition prints, the printing information
(how many known impressions, when printed, signed, paper size, etc.) will
be included.
We will provide a letter of authenticity at your request.
Signed:
Works signed by the artist are stated as such. Works stamped signed or signed
by the estate of the artist will be disclosed.
Commissioned Work:
Most of our Artists accept commissioned work. Please CONTACT US for details.
Limited Edition Giclees, Fine Art Prints, and Photographic Prints:
We offer Limited Edition Giclees and Fine Art Prints of many, but not all,
original works displayed on our Website as well as Custom Prints of Photographic
Images displayed on our Website. To meet our exacting high quality standards,
we have our Limited Edition Giclees, Fine Art Prints, and Photographic Prints
digitally printed on museum quality canvas or acid-free, archival grade papers
with commercial grade high resolution graphic printers using long life inks.
All giclees and all photographic prints on canvas are sealed with a protective
finish. To assure the quality we strive for, allow 3-4 weeks for shipment.
Please CONTACT US for additional details.
Photographic Print Size Information:
We offer Prints of our Photographic Images in five (5) different paper sizes:
Small (S-17”x22”), Medium (M-24”x36”), Large (L-30”x44”),
Extra Large (XL-36”’x54”), and Extra Extra Large (XXL-44”x68”).
A photographic image that you choose may be slightly cropped to better display
it on the paper size you order.
Our prints come with borders unless you specify that you want a borderless print. A print with borders allows you more choices with your framing, but the image will not fill the entire surface printed on the size paper you order. Our standard borders vary with the size of the print – 1½” on Small and Medium Print Sizes, 2” on Large Print Sizes, and 3” on Extra Large and Extra Extra Large Print Sizes. However, we can make the border any size that you specify.
If your print has a border, it will be signed by the Photographer in the bottom white border area on the right hand side unless you specify by phone or email that you want it on the image. If your print is borderless or if you specify that you want the Photographer’s signature on the image, it will be signed on the bottom right hand side of the image.
Lamination:
For maximum UV protection and resistance to dust and surface abrasion, plus
easily cleaned with a damp cloth, we recommend that the
photographic print be laminated on one or both sides. We offer a wide variety
of laminates -- gloss luster, matte -- and can laminate photographic prints
up to 61” wide
for an additional charge. Additional shipping charges may also apply. Please
CONTACT US for additional details.
Mounting:
We offer a wide variety of substrates - Foamcor, Gatorfoam, Sintra Plastic,
Diebond Auminum Composite, Hardboard, etc. - and can adhere your laminated
or unlaminated photographic prints to your choice of substrates up to 61"
wide and up to 1/2" thick for an additional charge. Additional shipping charges
may also apply. Please CONTACT US for additional details.
Framing:
Our Art can be purchased with or without framing. Unless otherwise stated,
each frame is in excellent, undamaged condition at the time it is shipped
to you. Detailed photographs of the frame can be included upon request.
We use only museum quality materials in our framing. They are archival safe, acid free, and pH neutral. However, some conditions such as direct sunlight, high humidity, and/or mold can cause damage to the framing despite its high quality. Therefore we can not warrant against future damage.
