TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE CONSIGNMENT AGREEMENT

 

1. Consignment Period.

 

  (a) Consignor hereby agrees to consign the Work to the Consignee for a period designated on the first page of this Consignment Agreement, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties in writing (the “Consignment Period”) to be sold exclusively by the Consignee (“Consignee”) in its own name to a buyer. Consignee will refer all bona fide offers to purchase to Consignor for written approval in Consignor’s sole discretion.
     
  (b) During the Consignment Period, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Work will be transported to and exhibited at Consignee’s art fair booth at Art Basel, Switzerland, in Basel, Switzerland scheduled to be held from June 18th, 2026 - June 21st, 2026 (the “Exhibition”) at Consignee’s cost and expense.

 

2. Commission and Payment.

 

  (a) In the event that the Work is sold to a third-party buyer (the “Buyer”) during the Consignment Period, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Consignment Agreement:

 

(i) Consignor shall receive no less than the Minimum Net Proceeds;

 

(ii) to the extent that the Purchase Price exceeds the Minimum Net Proceeds, Consignee shall be entitled to retain a Commission equal [***] of the amount by which the Purchase Price exceeds the Minimum Net Proceeds (the “Commission”).

 

  (b) Consignee shall be entitled to retain this Commission and forward the balance of the sale proceeds for the Work to Consignor within five (5) business days of the receipt by Consignee of the entire Purchase Price for the Work in good and clear funds. In case of late or non-payment by the buyer, Consignee and Consignor will jointly agree on the appropriate course of action against the Buyer. Consignee shall not be liable for late or non-payment by the Buyer; provided, however, that Consignee shall not waive any rights Consignor may have against the defaulting Buyer.
     
  (c) Following approval of a Buyer’s offer to purchase, and upon payment in full of Net Proceeds to Consignor pursuant to this Agreement, Consignor specifically and irrevocably authorizes Consignee to effect the transfer of ownership and title to the buyer and to provide such documentation as reasonably required upon sale, including an invoice or bill of sale for the Work if applicable.

 

3. Transfer of Title: Consignee agrees that it will not release custody of the Work to any Buyer unless and until it has received payment in full of the Purchase Price for the Work. Title to the Work will transfer to the Buyer upon Consignor’s receipt of the full amount of the Net Proceeds.

 

4. Shipping. Consignee shall be responsible for all expenses related to selling the Work including costs for packing, crating, customs, import and export duties, and shipping the Work from its current or pickup location to Consignee, as well as all costs associated with shipping the Work back to a storage location authorized by Consignor in writing if it remains unsold at the end of the Consignment Period. The parties will mutually determine the return location at least five (5) business days before the end of the Consignment Period. The Consignee will exercise the same care with respect to the Work as it does in the safekeeping of comparable property of its own and will use professional art handling, crating and shipping agents, all to be agreed upon with Consignor in advance, with consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
