The participation fee applies to one artwork not exceeding 1 × 1.1 m.

For sculptural, three-dimensional or installation works, dimensions and presentation requirements will be considered individually according to the available stand space and the curatorial concept.
Sales & Gallery Commission
Artworks may be offered for sale during the fair.
L’atelier d’Art Trence retains a 28% commission on the final selling price of artworks sold through the Frankfurt presentation.
The artist receives the remaining 72% of the final selling price.
The same 28% commission applies to a sale completed within 30 days after the end of the fair when the buyer was introduced to the artist or the specific artwork through L’atelier d’Art Trence during the Frankfurt presentation and the sale results directly from that introduction.
Artwork Price
The selling price of the selected artwork must be agreed with L’atelier d’Art Trence before the fair.
The artist must provide the final retail price of the artwork prior to participation.
Once confirmed, the selling price should remain consistent throughout the Frankfurt presentation.
Shipping & Transport
The artist is responsible for the safe delivery of the selected artwork to the address and by the deadline provided by L’atelier d’Art Trence.
The artist is also responsible for return shipping or collection of an unsold artwork after the presentation, unless another arrangement has been agreed in writing.
The artwork must be delivered ready for professional presentation and securely packed for transport.
Installation & Curatorial Presentation
The final placement and presentation of all artworks within the stand will be determined by L’atelier d’Art Trence.
This allows us to create a coherent curatorial presentation and to meet the spatial and technical requirements of the fair.
For artworks requiring special installation, the artist must provide all relevant technical information in advance.
