What is the final purchase price and how do I pay?
In addition to the hammer price, you will pay to Christie’s the buyer’s premium plus any applicable value added tax (VAT), sales or compensating use tax. Since the Artist’s Resale Right took effect in the UK in 2006, a royalty also may be payable on certain lots purchased in a London auction. Details for each auction are contained in the Conditions of Sale relevant to the auction. Payment may be made by personal check, bank wire transfers, cash (subject to certain limitations), Travelers checks and money orders (subject to certain limitations). Payment is due within seven calendar days of the sale, including collection of your purchase. Please contact the Bid Department of the saleroom, if you have any further questions.
