Online platform for selling art collections: A Second Chance for Your Artwork Asset
Art Resale Service "Resale" on Artsper Simplifies the Buying and Selling of Contemporary Art
Art collecting just got easier with Resale, a new service offered by Artsper. This innovative platform enables collectors to buy and sell artworks that were originally purchased on Artsper or signed by artists represented on the platform.
The resale process is designed to be secure, transparent, and supported with personalized assistance. Each artwork undergoes authentication and quality review by Artsper’s expert specialists who have extensive experience with international galleries and contemporary artists. This ensures that all resold artworks are genuine and maintain high catalog quality.
Resale operates as a curated, secondary market where each artwork has a rightful place within a premium catalog. It targets a qualified international audience beyond traditional secondary art markets.
To be eligible for resale, artworks must have been purchased on Artsper or signed by artists represented there. This continuity and trust is maintained throughout the resale process.
Success stories abound on Resale. For instance, a painting by street art icon C215, purchased in 2018 for €1,200, was resold in 2024 for €2,800, generating a €1,600 profit. Similarly, a sculpture by French artist Richard Orlinski, acquired for €2,500, was resold for €7,500 in 2024, resulting in a €5,000 profit in just a few years.
Artworks from private collections can also be submitted for resale on the website Resale, as long as they meet specific criteria. These include a value between €800 and €25,000, excellent condition, purchase invoice and certificate of authenticity, uniqueness or limited edition (<300 copies), and exclusion of vintage works, design pieces, or reproductions.
Resale is not just a transaction, but an act of transmission, a way to extend a piece's life by giving it a new home. For sellers, Resale is an opportunity to unlock the value of past acquisitions with full confidence. For buyers, it's access to rare works carefully selected with high standards.
With years of experience working with international galleries and contemporary artists, Resale offers a smooth and secure process. Submission is online, and the service includes pre- and post-sale customer service, as well as guaranteed payments.
The goal of Resale is to make reselling as simple, seamless, and secure as possible. It aims to be transparent, empowering, and human, providing tailored support for both sellers and buyers. Resale opens up a reliable, curated secondary market to the website's community, supervised by experts.
In essence, Resale helps collectors evolve their collection with peace of mind and fully enjoy their artistic journey. It circulates contemporary art, making it live and relive-collection to collection, worldwide.
