The Consignment Contract For Artists is essential in the Belgian art market for establishing professional relationships between artists and art sellers or exhibitors. It is used when an artist wishes to place their artwork with a gallery, dealer, or institution for sale or exhibition while retaining ownership until sale. The document complies with Belgian legal requirements, including the Artist Status Act and relevant provisions of the Belgian Civil Code. It typically covers crucial elements such as commission rates, payment terms, artwork handling procedures, insurance requirements, and exhibition rights. This contract type is particularly important in Belgium due to specific legal protections for artists and strict regulations governing art market transactions. It provides security for both parties while ensuring compliance with Belgian copyright law, social security provisions for artists, and art market regulations.
