Many countries, many different regulations. As a private collector, it is often difficult to see through the tax and import duties when buying or selling an artwork. Every member state of the EU has different import charges and so has the rest of the world. For artworks, there are often reduced import charges, but it means, that an artwork needs to be declared correctly. Or you will easily end up in paying higher taxes than legally necessary. OSME Fine Art can assist with such regulations, as additional service to our shipping assistance.

We cannot authenticate your artwork ourselves, but we can give you our opinion and potentially check, if your artwork has been restored previously. Does it have all the correct markings, signatures, stamps etc. and is everything in the right place. The lifetime work of Andy Warhol is very complex and has changed during the years of production. Signatures, stamps, edition number fonts, formats, paper and printing techniques have changed and it is our aim to filter the many counterfeit artwork from the market, to make sure your artwork is genuine.
