What is art leasing?

September 18, 2023

Discover our dedicated service for galleries: Whether you have an Artsper account or not, you have access to Artsper leasing, a financing solution for your professional customers, applicable to your entire catalog of works.

Leasing is a solution enabling companies and the professions to rent a work of art for a fixed period. The company agrees to make monthly payments to the lessor in return for the use of the work over the agreed period.

At the end of the contract, the lessee has the option of purchasing the work for a defined residual value, or returning it. As an art gallery, the entire proceeds of the sale are paid to you at once.

For works available on the marketplace

At Artsper, all artworks available on the marketplace with a minimum value of €1,000 can be rented out to our professional clients. For partner-galleries, this transaction remains a classic sale that Artsper pays for in a single instalment, and the commission remains unchanged.

To easily organize their leased artworks, partner galleries have access to a "leasing" tab in their Artsper gallery space.

For works outside of the marketplace

In addition, we offer you the possibility of financing works of art, whether listed on Artsper or not, for your customers coming directly from your network. We take no commission on the sales you bring us. The aim is to enable you to broaden your offer and reach professional collectors.
