- The artist will contact you directly to discuss the payment, delivery and other details.
Delivery
The delivery cost and additional expenses (export permit, packing expenses, insurance and so on) are paid by the buyer, that is, the price on the website does not include these expenses. The delivery details are discussed between the artist and the buyer.
Payments
Typically, the payment details are discussed between the artist and the buyer.
Framed / non-framed paintings
If a painting has been already framed, you will see the "Artwork framed" text under the painting's image. The frame cost is included in the painting price. If there is no "Artwork framed" text under the painting's image, you will have to discuss this subject with the author.
Additional information
- Notice that all paintings and artworks available at ARTPO are private property of painters and located at painter's studios. This information has to be taken into consideration before submitting your order since it affects delivery date and cost. A painter's location can be found on his / her biography page as well as on the Item Page.
If you want to buy a painting urgently, we would recommend to select artworks created by painters living in your area. It will significantly save your time and money.
To search for painters by location, you can use the advanced artwork search.
- If you order an author’s copy, you need to understand that preparing the copy will take some time (from a couple of days to several weeks). You should discuss the timeline with the painter in advance.
