Payment

Smaller shipments that can be sent as a regular postal package (sensory eggs, posters, postcards and letters) are prepaid via vipps. Larger sculptures are sent in postal orders with tracking and insurance.

The Norwegian Stately required Art fee

Private sales are exempt from the art fee, but for public sales of works of art in Norway, the seller is required to collect a 5% art fee if the work costs more than NOK. 2000, -. The art fee is in addition to the sale price.

​

Bildende Kunstneres Hjelpefond (BKH) was established by the Storting in connection with the Act on Art Fees of 1948. (Act on the Sale of Visual Arts)

​

The law requires everyone who publicly sells original copies of works of art such as paintings, collages, drawings, prints, prints, lithographs, sculptures, tapestries, ceramics, glass art and photographic works to pay a fee of 5% in addition to the sale price. Copies of works of art made in a limited number by the artist himself or with the relevant consent are considered to be original copies.

​

A share of the art fee funds goes collectively to BKH. Since the beginning, the fund has given almost NOK 300 million back to the artists, and in 2011 approx. NOK 23 million in the form of scholarships and support. The fund is thus a significant player and grant partner in the art field, and makes an important contribution to ensuring diversity and further innovation in Norwegian visual art.

​

In the case of public sales, I or the gallery owner where I exhibit are responsible for collecting, paying in and reporting for the fee. Works of art that are sold privately or have a sale price below NOK 2,000 are not taxable.

​

Shipping, pickup and delivery

​​

I am happy to pack and send you my art all the way home to you no matter where in the world you may be. Shipping costs will come in addition to the price. The buyer pays the expenses incurred for international shipping boxes, handling fees, any export fees / charges and customs duties.

​​

We may choose to use a wooden, reusable shipping box that can be sent back to me. We agree upon this inadvanse and you pay a deposit at the checkout.​

​

Damage during shipping

When shipping in Norway by postal order, the artwork is insured via the post office for 10,000 until it is delivered to you. If you suspect damage when inspecting the packaging, you must take photos of both the packaging and the artwork in addition to sending a written description of the damage. Then send the artwork back to me. Once you have sent me information and photos by email, I can take the case further with the postal service / insurance company.

​

Should this occur, you will be reimbursed for your costs. Credits are made to the same account number. 

​

Sales documents

When buying sculptures, I will attach a receipt and proof of authenticity with a description of the artwork.

​

The color reproduction of photographs of works of art

I do my best to reproduce the sculptures as accurately as possible, but the color reproduction in images will vary slightly from screen to screen.
