Our auction model:
100% of the Hammer Price will go to the artist and the gallery that represents them. Our model which was created in the belief that the artists and those championing their work should reap the greatest rewards from their sale
18% Buyer's Premium, charged on top of the Hammer price, will be payable by the purchasers, compared to a buyer's premium of 25% and above charged by competitors in the market.
3% (of the Hammer Price) will be deducted from the Buyer's Premium and paid out to The MoMA Architecture and Design department, the world’s first curatorial department devoted to architecture and design established in 1932 at The Museum of Modern Art.
de PURY’s initiative to utilise virtual exhibitions means that artworks will travel only once. The works do not need to leave the artist’s studio or storage until the point of sale, reducing the carbon footprint and making the auction more environmentally friendly.
The curated auction will be hosted online by an avatar of Simon de Pury conducting the auction live.
