The private acquisition

Current acquisition price:

$97,741

The price rises by 1.5% after each sale.

This is not a discount structure. It is a public record of early belief.

What the Patron Receives

The Acquisition Process

Each work begins with a private prompt.

After purchase, the patron may send a short note, memory, dream, image, phrase or private association. This becomes part of the unseen commission process. The final work remains entirely at the artist’s discretion.

The buyer does not select from a catalogue. The work is created after commitment, for the person who caused it to exist.

  1. Begin a private acquisition
  2. Receive confirmation and invoice
  3. Send an optional private prompt
  4. The work is created
  5. The work is delivered with provenance and authenticity records

Collector Protection

The work is sold unseen, but not without protection.

If the patron does not wish to keep the work, it may be returned within 30 days. The work will then be privately withdrawn and destroyed. The purchase price will be refunded, less the stated production, handling and administrative costs.

Payment

Payment may be made by bank transfer or other agreed settlement method. A full UK VAT invoice and authenticity documentation will be issued for each acquisition.

Alternative settlement methods may be discussed privately.

Begin a Private Acquisition

For the patron who understands the premise, the next step is deliberately simple.
