SERGIO DANGELO (1932-2022) - Senza Titolo, 1952

1- The following terms and conditions govern the sale by auction of modern and contemporary artworks organised by Studio d’Arte Borromeo S.N.C. di Orsenigo Alberto, Candelieri Stefano & Fabrizio Altana, p.iva 09187890968 (hereinafter “Studio d’Arte Borromeo”), in their own venue, open to the public. Unless the works on sale are owned by Studio d’Arte Borromeo, Studio d’Arte Borromeo will act as an agent represent-ing the consignor. The effects of the sale are binding for the buyer and the seller; as a result, Studio d’Arte Borromeo will not assume any responsibility towards the buyer other than that which is stipulated in the contract, “Mandate to sell”. To enable potential buyers to see the artworks, to find out about the main technical characteristics and evaluate the authenticity of the works, the quality and the state of preservation, Studio d’Arte Borromeo organises:

- An exhibition of all the artworks on sale, before the auction, freely accessible to all the interested parties, accompanied by an specialist from Studio d’Arte Borromeo.

Interested parties have the possibility to view the artworks for sale at the aforementioned exhibition accompanied by a specialist of their choosing, at their own expense.

Due to the possibility of being able to evaluate the authenticity and state of preservation of the artworks prior to the exhibition, no contes-tations will be allowed once the auction has been awarded to the winning bidder and Studio d’Arte Borromeo cannot be held liable for possible errors regarding the authenticity, incorrect attribution, state of preservation and cataloging of the artworks on sale.

- A hard copy catalogue and an online catalogue on https://asteborromeo.com will be published, including a list of the art-works and the relevant details regarding the authenticity, author, dates, period, origin source, dimensions and technique.

The information in the catalogue is purely the opinion of the specialists at Studio d’Arte Borromeo, therefore no liability whatsoever regarding any such information can be attributed to Studio Art Borromeo, who works as an agent in good faith of the owners of the works on display.

In the catalogue, each artwork also has an estimated value given by Studio d’Arte Borromeo’s specialists; it should be noted that this value is purely indicative and, therefore, the final price of the winning bid could be higher, lower or equal to the price indicated in the catologue.

Lastly, each artwork in the catalogue has a reserve price; this value represents the minimum price, established by Studio d’Arte Borromeo or as agreed with the consignor, below which, the artworks will be bought in.

2- Registration is necessary in order to participate in any auction. Registration involves completing the required registration form - which consists of the interested party’s personal details (basic details, fiscal code, tax number, place of permanent residency, address, telephone number and mobile number) - and presenting a copy of a valid ID document and fiscal code. Should the interested party wish to register as a legal person they will be required to provide a copy of the business profile of the company. The registration can be made at any time, during the exhibition that precedes the auction or at any time before the auction. Studio d’Arte Borromeo reserves the right to accept or decline the request to participate in the auction and, in particular, to deny entry to persons who have not honoured monetary obligations within the acceptable time frame, including compensation owed to Studio d’Arte Borromeo.

3- Studio d’Arte Borromeo reserves the right to withdraw any artwork from the auction at any point in time. Should an artwork be placed on auction and the reserve price not be met, the lot will be bought in and, therefore, will be withdrawn from the auction. The decision regarding the type of sale is made by Studio d’Arte Borromeo, in person by the auctioneer, who has the ability to combine, divide and change the order of the lots on auction. The auctioneer may accept bids made in the auction hall, written bids received before the auction or telephonic bids in which the correct form was submitted, acknowledged and accepted (it should be noted that bidders submitting telephonic bids are required to guarantee the reserve price for the article on auction), bids received online through the Studio d’Arte Borromeo portal, both before and during the auction. Studio d’Arte Borromeo will not accept absentee bids unless, before the auction, a power of attorney is received from the third party via public deed or written correspondence accompanied by a copy of a valid ID document and fiscal code of both the delegate and the delegator.

4- Lots are awarded to the highest bidder and the auctioneer will indicate when the bidding is finished by banging the gavel. It should be noted that:

- in the case of two mathing written bids, the auction will be awarded to the first bid received;

- in the case of a written bid matches a bid in the auction room, the auction will be awarded to the bid made in the auction room;

- in the case a written bid matches a telephonic bid, the auction will be awarded to the bid made via telephone.

Once awarded, the buyer will be required to sign a contract indicating the lot awarded and the hammer price. In some cases, specifi-cally marked in the catalogue, an amount of 22% equal to VAT will be added to the hammer price in addition to the VAT for the buyer’s pre-mium, for consignors who are subject to VAT. For allotments being temporarily imported from countries that do not belong to the EU, in addition to the VAT added for the buyer’s premium, an amount of 10% VAT will be added to the hammer price.
