Consignment Services for Alex Katz Prints & Artworks
We want the selling experience to be the best fit possible for you, and as such, we offer multiple options to best suit your needs.
For those looking to achieve the best price possible with their Alex Katz art, we recommend our consignment service. We start by working with you to choose a listing price that meets your needs and is appropriate for the secondary market. You'll then send the piece to Modern Artifact in Minneapolis where it will be professionally photographed, have a knowledgeable curator or art historian write a professional description of it, and then listed on all of our sales channels. We will run any offers below our listing price past you for approval. When the piece sells, Modern Artifact will handle all logistics of payment, packaging, and shipping your Alex Katz piece to its new home.
Selling work on consignment will take longer than receiving an immediate cash offer (more on that option below), but it will ensure you are able to achieve the very best price for Alex Katz art. In exchange, Modern Artifact keeps a pre-contracted percentage of the total sale amount.
Immediate Cash Offers for Alex Katz Prints & Artworks
In addition to consignment, Modern Artifact also offers immediate cash offers for Alex Katz prints and paintings. We offer fair market value for our Alex Katz art immediate cash offers that are in-line with what you could expect to realize at auction. Because we do not charge the same fees as auction houses do, in many cases our immediate cash offers allow you to realize a higher price than you would selling your Alex Katz print of painting at auction.
An immediate cash offer is typically not as lucrative as waiting for an end buyer via the consignment option, however, it is the most hassle-free way of selling Alex Katz art. You're issued your payment right away, and you no longer have to be involved in the process of selling your Alex Katz artwork.

When appraising Alex Katz prints or paintings, we also consider how quickly a work will sell. When consigning artwork with us, this is a conversation we will have where you will have input as the seller.

If a seller is consigning their work with Modern Artifact, we will begin the listing process as soon as the work arrives in our gallery.
