Art in the Garden

Services

Acquiring a work of art is an event, as much for the investment it represents as for the pleasure of owning something beautiful. And an event must be carefully prepared, which is why you call on a qualified professional.

The Art in the Garden team's mission is not only to make monumental art accessible, but also to provide all the services needed to advise, guide and support you throughout your acquisition process.

Guidance and Installation

Choosing your artwork

Of course, the first thing to consider in the process of acquiring a work of art is: which piece to choose? There are so many artists, styles and collections… even a renowned expert in a given movement cannot know every work that is constantly being created.

Your favourite, guaranteed

This diversity offers a wide enough range of choices to ensure you find the piece you fall in love with. With artists of varied styles, techniques and influences, you are sure to discover at least one work that resonates with your artistic sensibility.

Complete series and unique pieces

Within our collection, you are free to choose from unique pieces, numbered editions, or even discuss the possibility of placing special orders.

Each artist has their own way of working, which means that if you fall for a creator's style, it is possible to collaborate with them to create a bespoke piece that will blend perfectly with your exhibition space.
Our network offers you unfailing flexibility to personalise your artistic experience.

Purchasing a monumental work of art is an important decision.
Here are the 5 key criteria to consider:

1. What space is available and where

Carefully assess the location where you plan to install the work, taking into account its size and how well it suits the setting. To get the most out of your acquisition, it is important that it blends harmoniously into the space where you place it.

Choosing a work that matches your personal taste and the aesthetic of the place where it will be installed may require some research. The work should not only inspire you and reflect your artistic vision, but should also appeal to other potential viewers. These will differ greatly depending on whether you are buying a work for a private setting seen only by your close circle, for a corporate lobby welcoming potential clients and employees daily, or for a space open to the public.

Check the materials of the work to ensure its resistance to weather and the wear of time. Monumental works of art must be durable to retain their aesthetic appeal over the long term, which can vary considerably depending on climate and exhibition conditions.

When setting your budget, remember to include not only the purchase price of the work, but also the costs of installation, maintenance and insurance. Make sure that all these costs are compatible with your financial resources and the amount you wish to invest.

Learning about the artist who created the work, their history and reputation, gives you a better idea of how your acquisition will be perceived. The provenance of the work can also be an important criterion, as it can greatly add to its value. It is for these reasons that Art in the Garden provides detailed information on all the artists in our network.

Showcasing your artwork

Have you decided to buy, or already bought a sculpture? Congratulations!
Now it must be presented in its best light by arranging the space and lighting around it to achieve the best possible effect. Here too, Art in the Garden offers all the necessary expertise.

Art scenography

A monumental artwork can serve 2 purposes:
– Be a focal point in a minimalist space
– Harmoniously complement its surroundings.

Art in the Garden therefore offers genuine expertise in art scenography to display your work in its best light.

The choice of location, accessories and possibly neighbouring works is crucial to the harmony and overall atmosphere of the setting.
Our in-depth knowledge of the art market and of each of our artists also ensures that the identity of the work is respected, both in its installation and in its integration into your exhibition space.

Mise en place de scenographie d'art

Garden scenography

For the display of a painting, the frame matters almost as much as the canvas. For the display of a monumental sculpture, the surroundings can complement the work as much as the reverse.

That is why Art in the Garden offers to arrange and stage your green spaces to create memorable landscapes and incomparable experiences.

Garden scenography draws on several complementary disciplines that together form an art in itself.

Lighting design

When you invest in an outdoor work of art, lighting is far more than a mere detail. It plays an essential role in showcasing the work, creating a whole new artistic dimension. At Art in the Garden, we understand the importance of carefully planning the illumination of an installation, and we provide lighting solutions that transform your work into a captivating visual spectacle.

Our team dedicated to lighting your outdoor artwork is here to advise, plan and implement lighting solutions that transcend the art, creating an unforgettable visual experience. Let light enhance your artistic investment.

Logistics

Investing in art means investing in culture and benefiting from attractive tax advantages. However, it sometimes requires a suitable transport solution. That is why Art in the Garden offers all the services needed to deliver and install your new acquisitions.

Packaging

To protect your works, we prepare them for transport with the utmost care. Using suitable, high-quality materials, our team of experts guarantees optimal protection against all kinds of vibration, impact and weather. We use superior industrial-grade boxes, as well as padding moulded specifically for smaller items. Large works, meanwhile, are packed in custom-made wooden crates with internal supports and reinforcements to ensure a perfect hold.

The service is defined with you in advance, by quote.
Where possible, we are also committed to offering you eco-responsible options.

Transport

Our carefully selected partners for transporting your acquisitions guarantee the choice of the most suitable vehicle. Experienced professionals, our delivery teams are able to operate on all types of terrain in a variety of environments, to bring your pieces to you wherever you are.

International shipping

All our works can be shipped within France or abroad, anywhere in the world, by express air freight with a tracking code. A delivery takes on average ten working days.
We handle all the procedures related to the importation of your acquisition.

For deliveries to the United States and Europe, all import fees and taxes are included in the quoted price.
For destinations outside Europe or the United States, additional fees may apply depending on the destination country.

Please note : US customs require the completion of an identity verification form within 5 days of receipt.
Failure to comply with this condition results in the automatic rejection of the shipment, and all resulting costs will be borne by the customer.

Doorstep delivery

All deliveries are made to the door and priced according to the ground-floor address for any commercial or residential property.
Our clients are in no way obliged or required to collect their acquisition from the nearest seaport or airport.

Installation

Whatever the location previously defined, our teams deploy the tools needed to install your work in the best conditions. For outdoor installations, we can handle site preparation (levelling, backfilling, foundations, etc.) according to the requirements of your work. Whatever the service to be provided, we have all the necessary tools.

Damage management policy

Each of the pieces we offer is a unique work of art, and as such we ensure the best possible transport by making sure that all protections and optimal conditions are applied.
However, damage may occasionally occur during transport for various reasons. In this case, we also guarantee the implementation of all processes needed for the complete restoration of the work and the thorough repair of any damage sustained.
Handling and reporting damage on receipt of the parcel
We ask our clients to inspect their parcel carefully on receipt so as to report immediately any visible damage to the packaging, or any damage that may have occurred, failing which we cannot guarantee repairs. Signing the delivery note constitutes acceptance of the parcel as is and incurs additional charges if damage is reported afterwards.

In the event of visible damage or deterioration, we strongly recommend following these steps:

1. Inform the delivery driver of any apparent damage before signing the receipt.
2. Ensure the delivery driver clearly records a description of the damage, accompanied by photos if possible.
3. Request a copy of this description of the damage.
4. Sign for receipt of the parcel while contacting us immediately for a thorough resolution.
If, after removing the packaging, damage is found, here are the steps to follow:
1. Keep the original packaging.
2. Contact us in writing within 5 days of receiving the parcel. Provide a detailed description of the damage to the goods with clear photos of the damaged items and the packaging.

It is crucial to inform us in writing within this period so that we can handle the damage effectively. Beyond this period, the goods will be considered delivered in good condition.
For any damage exceeding the natural marks of time, we will deploy a local specialist to repair the damaged piece. If repair is impossible, we will offer store credit corresponding to the value of the damage.

For any questions regarding our shipping, return or damage-handling policies, please do not hesitate to contact us.
To ensure a meticulous selection of every piece offered at Art in the Garden, we provide detailed photographs to fully inform our clients before any purchase. As a result, we do not accept returns, refunds or exchanges. Our commitment to transparency aims to guarantee our clients' satisfaction by offering a clear and complete view of our products.

Your Acquisition

Tax relief through the purchase of art objects offers investors a unique opportunity to combine artistic passion with tax benefits. This investment strategy requires a thorough understanding of the applicable rules and regulations. Whether you are a passionate collector or an investor looking to diversify your portfolio, Art in the Garden will help you make informed decisions while finding exceptional pieces.

Tax Deduction

The main advantage of investing in art, and the most common reason for this type of purchase, lies in the tax benefits it offers. This investment is both safe and rewarding, as it also allows you to decorate your spaces. Unlike other types of tax-efficient investment, the purchase or lease of monumental art objects belongs to its own tax category.

Indeed, works of art are not included in the taxable base of the French Real Estate Wealth Tax. Investing in them therefore entitles individuals to tax relief.
The works of art eligible for tax relief are defined by Article 98A of the French General Tax Code.
Art in the Garden offers complete expertise in tax relief to help you make the most of your investments.

Leasing

Choose, we finance!

Art leasing is ideal. We search for, identify, negotiate and above all finance the best investment opportunities on your behalf. We are also able to provide you with an immediate lease-with-option-to-buy financing solution for works you may have already identified.

Today, the trend is towards leasing, across all sectors of the economy.
Art leasing is the ideal financing method for professionals, both to enjoy highly advantageous tax benefits and to modernise and strengthen the company's brand image among colleagues, clients, suppliers and partners.
That is why we offer unusual distribution channels for art, addressing the professional market through lease offers with a purchase option.

Instalment payment

To make your acquisition and payment process easier, we offer various financing options. Among them, instalment payment allows you to spread your payments over a period of up to three months free of charge.
