Artists Resale Rights (ARR):

Some lots as indicated in the catalogue may be subject to Artists Resale Rights (ARR).
This was introduced by a European Directive in 2006 to ensure that artists receive a royalty when their work is resold by an auction house or gallery. This Right applies to living artists and to those who have died within the last 70 years who are from applicable countries.

This royalty is paid by the purchaser on top of the hammer price if the sale price reaches or exceeds £1,000 GBP. The amount payable is on a sliding scale e.g. up to £50,000 GBP, the royalty rate is 4% of the sale price. The maximum royalty a work can earn is capped at £12,500 GBP.
