Before you buy
What you should know
These are the questions that actually decide a purchase. The answers are the ones we give at the kitchen table.
Questions and answers
Is a sculpture an investment?
Buy a sculpture because you find it remarkable, not as an investment. Art can rise in value and does so for individual artists, but the market is narrow, illiquid and not predictable. If your aim is a return, there are better instruments. If your aim is that your plot looks different every day, it is the right money to spend.
Does the material hold up to the weather?
Every work we carry is made for outdoor sites: bronze, corten steel, stainless steel and stone. The surfaces change over the years, and that is part of the thing rather than a defect.
What if I stop liking a sculpture after two years?
Tell us. We take works in part exchange when you buy something else from us, and we broker a resale. What we do not do is promise a resale price.
Is it allowed to touch a sculpture?
Yes, our works may be touched. For most of them the surface is the reason the work stands outdoors and not behind glass.
What about children and dogs in the garden?
Tell us before installation who is in your garden. We choose the anchoring accordingly, and we advise against sharp edges in areas where children play.
How long does it take from the decision to the installation?
From the decision to the finished installation usually takes 3 to 4 weeks. If the work is already on the island, it goes faster.
Do I get a certificate?
Every work comes with the documentation of title, dimensions, material, year and edition, the certificate of authenticity from the artist or the estate, and the purchase receipt.
Do you also sell to Ibiza and the mainland?
We deliver to Ibiza regularly and to the Spanish mainland on request.
Can I visit without wanting to buy?
Yes, by appointment. We are glad to show the works, and half of our visitors decide only in their second year.
Can you work alongside an architect?
Yes. Architects and interior designers get dimensions, weights, foundation specifications and render data from us. Write to us directly.
