Commonly known as Droit de Suite, the resale right has been in force since February 2006.
The Artists’ Collecting Society was set up by the Bridgeman Art Library after consultation with the British Art Market Federation (BAMF) and the Society of London Art Dealers (SLAD), who both expressed the need for a second collecting agency as well as The Design and Artists Copyright Society (DACS).
So far, the Artists’ Collecting Society has sent out Droit de Suite invoices on a total of £12m worth of art sales.
Artists’ Collecting Society publishes a complete list of the artists they represent on their website www.artistscollectingsociety.co.uk
