How to Buy
HomeAcquiring a work of art begins with a conversation. Whether you are making your first purchase or developing an established collection, Zeit Contemporary Art offers attentive guidance informed by research, experience, and a careful understanding of your interests.
We specialize in modern, postwar, and contemporary art, presenting selected works through private sales, curated projects, and viewing rooms.
Discover a Work
Explore our website to discover available works and learn about the artists and projects we present. If something interests you, use the artwork’s inquiry option or send us an email at contact@zeitcontemporaryart.com. We will confirm availability, provide pricing, and discuss the work with you.
You are also welcome to approach us with a particular artist or work in mind. Not every opportunity is presented publicly, and a conversation can help us understand what you are seeking.
Learn More
Before deciding, you may wish to review additional photographs, condition information, provenance, exhibition history, or relevant literature. We can discuss the information and documentation available for the particular work, including its dimensions, medium, edition details, and framing.
Our aim is to help you consider an acquisition with a clear understanding of the work and its place within your collection.
Arrange a Viewing
Viewings are arranged by appointment. Please let us know which artwork you would like to see so that we can confirm its location and make suitable arrangements.
If you are unable to visit in person, we can discuss additional images and options for examining the work remotely.
Confirm Your Acquisition
Once you decide to proceed, we will confirm availability, the agreed price, and the applicable terms of sale.
We will request the billing and delivery information needed to prepare your invoice and coordinate the transaction. Applicable taxes, shipping costs, and any additional services will be addressed as part of these arrangements.
Artworks are sold on a final-sale basis. We encourage you to review the available information and ask any questions before confirming your purchase. This policy is subject to the applicable terms of sale and rights that cannot be excluded by law.
Payment and Delivery
Payment is made by bank wire transfer, with instructions provided directly to you.
Delivery is arranged according to the requirements of the artwork and its destination. We can also help coordinate installation and related services with advance notice. The proposed arrangements, associated costs, and anticipated timing will be discussed with you individually.
Please visit Payment & Shipping for further information.
