Document background
The Consignment Contract For Artists is essential for professional art market operations in Indonesia, providing a legal framework for artists to place their works with galleries or agents for sale while retaining ownership until the actual sale occurs. This document is typically used when artists want to establish a professional relationship with a gallery or agent for the sale of their work, without transferring ownership upfront. It addresses critical aspects such as commission rates, payment terms, artwork handling, insurance, and promotional responsibilities, all within the context of Indonesian law, particularly the Civil Code (KUHPerdata) and Law No. 28 of 2014 on Copyright. The contract protects both parties' interests by clearly defining responsibilities, financial arrangements, and risk allocation, while ensuring compliance with local cultural and artistic property regulations.
