Bond Fine Art is not the typical art dealer or gallery business. It’s a premium fine art marketer and funding source developer for nonprofits, a sales and philanthropic art exchange platform for collectors, artists, nonprofits, and a collaboration point for a wide-range of art related services and businesses from restoration to financial planning.
Got ART. . . that no longer brings meaning to your life?
FREE IT ~ to do so in someone else's !
Our philosophy is that art is meant to be continually viewed and enjoyed. When an art piece becomes ignored or stored it should instead recirculate to realize new appreciation, a new life. This is the life cycle of art.
The inherent way of art is to touch as many people as it can in some indelible, beneficial manner. And it is in the sale of it -- that a premium opportunity to actualize that potential presents itself. Through the donation of either the art itself, or cash from its sale, an ordinary two-way commercial exchange is elevated and expanded into a philanthropic event and donor tax benefit. In other words, a meaningful transaction.
The planning stage of a transaction is where the element of donation to a 501c3 nonprofit organization can be introduced. An art seller-donor donates 10% of an upcoming art transaction. An artist-sponsor sets 40% of the price of a piece of art as the purchaser’s donation. A gallery-sponsor assigns 10% of a sale as the donation made by the buyer. An auction house reduces its seller’s fee and 5% is added to the donation amount of a high-end transaction. These are just some of the ways a meaningful transaction can be created and vital nonprofit services supported.
To create meaning in a transaction is a simple consideration that transforms what would have been another forgettable 2-way exchange into a most memorable and enjoyable collaborative happening of real significance.
A Perspective on the Funding Potential of the Art Market...
• The 2016 worldwide art market total sales is estimated at $56.6 billion. The US ranked first in sales by value with a market share of 40% or $22.9 billion.*
• The United Kingdom came in second at 21%, followed by China at 20% of the market.*
The sellers and buyers of the art market are nonprofit members and donors who, by engaging in meaningful transactions, have the ability to transform the multibillion dollar art market into a nonprofit funding source. These people need to know about the meaningful art transaction, the potential and enjoyment of it, and how to employ it. For example: NOTABLE TRANSACTIONS
The meaningful transaction is the perfect platform for the transfer of art. And Bond Fine Art establishes and engages in meaningful transactions.
In service to the nonprofit BFA assists the collector in the donation of fine art, the buyer donor in a fair value purchase, the seller donor in an optimum sale, the organizational curator in identifying the best options in the expansion of a collection or liquidation of dormant artwork, and the organization and its constituency in realizing the most this income stream has to offer.
