Protecting your art with paper: Invoices and Art Consignment Forms

1. Always use an invoice when you make a sale, even if it's only to family or friends.  The artwork invoice should contain: date of sale, detailed description of the artwork, price, collector information (such as payment deadline, delivery method & cost, title, insurance, copyright, future shows, and resale).

2. Use a consignment form whenever you give your artwork to someone who will then try to sell it on your behalf, such as at a group show, an art fair, a benefit auction or a gallery.  A consignment agreement should contain the following information:

venue, inventory list (timeframe, split, payment and collector information, packing and shipping, safekeeping and insurance, unsold work, and cancellation).

At Our Connection Artist Auction site, be sure to print out invoices and emails of all your transactions.
