Terms & Conditions

Upon clicking “Enter Open Call,” artists are acknowledging acceptance of the following terms and conditions:

§1 TERMS OF AGREEMENT
This event is open to artists globally. Artists are eligible to submit one piece of their own artwork. The sales agreement comes into effect when Weserhalle successfully auctions the artwork. Until such a sale, the artwork remains in the artist’s possession. Should a sale occur, Weserhalle will retain a commission of 50% of the final price.

§2 SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Artists are welcome to submit artwork of any size. However, artwork with any dimension exceeding 80 cm will only be eligible for online presentation. Artists are accountable for the accuracy of their submission information. Inaccurate details may result in disqualification. Weserhalle reserves the right to refuse artwork upon physical inspection.

§3 ARTIST RESPONSIBILITIES
Artists affirm the authenticity of their submitted artwork and assert it neither infringes upon others’ rights nor has defects. Artwork on paper must be framed, with the framing cost borne by the artist.

§4 DELIVERY AND RETRIEVAL OF ARTWORK
Selected artists must deliver their artwork to Weserhalle by November 18th. Unsold work remains the property of the artist and should be collected, either by pickup or through shipment, within a week following the auction’s conclusion.

§5 USAGE RIGHTS
Artists provide Weserhalle with permission to utilise images of the artwork for promotional activities across different platforms.

§6 DISPLAY OF ARTWORK
Artwork will be displayed on the Weserhalle website during the auction, with the possibility, but not the guarantee, of physical showcasing at the Weserhalle venue.

§7 PRICING AND SALES POLICY
Artists set an estimated value and a minimum bid for their artwork. Weserhalle has the prerogative to negotiate these amounts. The highest bid constitutes the final sale price. Artists are not allowed to bid on their own work. In case of violation of this norm, and if the artwork remains unsold, the artist will owe Weserhalle 50% of their artwork’s estimated value.
