How do I purchase an artwork?

To acquire a work, simply submit a purchase request through the artwork page. Availability is indicated directly on each listing. Once your request is received, we will contact you with secure payment details and guide you through the final steps of the acquisition.

In what currency are artworks priced?

If the copy becomes distracting in the design then you are doing something wrong or they are discussing copy changes.

How is payment made?

Once you submit a request, you will receive secure wire transfer instructions. Each transaction is handled individually to ensure accuracy, security, and a smooth acquisition process

Do artists receive the proceeds?

Yes. 100% of proceeds go directly to the artist. Funds are transferred within 24 hours of completed payment through secure and compliant international exchange channels, ensuring both speed and reliability.

Can I reserve a work before purchasing?

es. Once you submit a request, the work can be placed on hold for up to 24 hours. If the purchase is not completed within this time, the work may be released and made available again.

Why is this not an online checkout process?

Due to the nature of this initiative and current logistical conditions, each acquisition is handled individually. This allows us to coordinate securely, provide accurate payment details, and ensure that proceeds are transferred efficiently to the artist.

What happens after I complete my purchase?

Once your payment is received, you will be issued a digital certificate of authenticity, confirming the work as yours. We will then coordinate directly with the artist and keep you informed throughout the shipping and delivery process.

Will I receive documentation with the artwork?

Yes. A digital certificate of authenticity is provided immediately after purchase. A printed certificate will accompany the artwork upon delivery.

How long does shipping take?

Shipping timelines vary depending on destination and current regional conditions. In most cases, delivery may take approximately 3 to 6 months. We remain in close coordination throughout to ensure safe and reliable delivery.

Where are the artworks shipped from?

Whenever possible, works are shipped directly from Iran. In cases where this is not feasible, artworks are carefully transferred to a secure location outside the country and shipped from there to ensure safe international delivery.

Why can shipping take several months?

Extended timelines are due to current logistical and transportation conditions affecting the region. Each shipment is carefully coordinated to ensure the work arrives safely, even when additional steps are required.

How are the artworks packaged and delivered?

Works on paper (such as drawings, photographs, and prints) are carefully rolled and shipped in protective tubes. Paintings are typically shipped unstretched and rolled, allowing for safer transport and significantly reduced shipping costs. They can be professionally re-stretched upon arrival by a local framer.

Why are some works shipped rolled?

This method ensures safer international transport while keeping shipping costs reasonable. It also reduces the risk of damage during transit. The process of re-stretching a canvas is standard and can be easily handled by professional framers worldwide.

Is my purchase secure?

Yes. Each transaction is handled individually with verified communication and secure payment instructions, ensuring a safe and transparent process from start to finish.
