How to Buy Art

Collectors FAQ

G-ALLERY is a contemporary art gallery based in Berlin with an international focus across Europe and the USA. We place works through private sales and advise collectors discreetly and personally. Below you’ll find key information on availability, purchasing, certificates, and worldwide shipping.

1) How do I inquire about an artwork?
Please email art@g-allery.com with the artist and title (or a screenshot), your preferred size range, shipping destination, and timeline. We’ll reply with availability, pricing, and next steps.
2) Are all works on the website always available?
Not necessarily. Many works move discreetly via waitlists or private inquiries. For any piece you’re considering, a quick availability check is recommended.
3) What does the purchasing process look like?
Inquiry → availability & offer (including shipping options) → reservation/confirmation → invoice → payment → shipment/collection with tracking. If needed, we can also coordinate handling and installation.
4) How fast can you ship?
Timing depends on the artwork’s location, size, and any customs clearance. Within the EU, delivery is often possible within approx. 5–15 business days. International shipments typically take approx. 10–25 business days. We confirm the exact schedule with your offer.
5) Which payment methods do you accept?
Bank transfer is standard. Depending on the transaction, additional options may be available. You’ll receive the final payment details on the invoice.
6) Can I reserve a work?
In many cases, yes. Reservations are typically time-limited and confirmed individually. For highly sought-after works, a deposit may be helpful or required.
7) Do artworks come with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA)?
Yes, when provided by the artist or studio. You will also receive an invoice and relevant provenance documentation for insurance and future reference.
8) How do you ship, and is the shipment insured?
We ship professionally packed and—depending on the work—via specialist fine art carriers or courier services, within Europe and to/from the USA. Insurance can be arranged; we outline options transparently in your offer.
9) Will I have to pay customs duties, VAT, or import taxes?
This depends on the shipping route (EU, USA, UK, Switzerland, and others). Import duties/taxes may apply and are typically borne by the recipient. We highlight the common points in the offer; binding information is provided by the relevant customs authority.
10) Can I preview artworks virtually (e.g., in my space)?
Yes. We can provide high-resolution images, detailed views, and—when appropriate—room views or scale guidance. If you use the G-ALLERY app, AR preview options may be available (model- and device-dependent).
11) Do you facilitate commissions?
Yes, for selected artists. We align subject, size, palette, timeline, and budget with you and the studio, and guide the process through delivery.
12) Do you work with interior designers and corporate clients?
Yes. We support curated selections, placement planning, and logistics for private homes, offices, and hospitality projects. Feel free to send photos/floor plans and target dimensions for a tailored proposal.
13) How discreet is the process?
Very. We treat private sales and collector information as confidential and use personal data only to handle your inquiry (see our Privacy Policy).
