Step into our Art Resale Club where you
can sell your own artwork in the secondary market without any commissions.
Once we're agreed a market value, Oil does all the promotional work leaving you with all the sale profit.
Existing private art sales commission structures often favour the gallery or auction house, but by bringing art resales under a private club membership structure, we can facilitate safe, anonymous transactions which maximise our members' financial returns.

Further Details:
Secondary market sales
Elevate your art collecting experience with our members' club. Say goodbye to significant value loss when reselling your artwork professionally. OAA handles appraisals, discreet private sales, and offers exposure to our art and design network. Enjoy unbiased, fair treatment, plus active promotion across our platforms.
OAA provides commission-free sales platform for up to three artworks annually. Any commissions and extra fees are waived, except for the legally required Artist's Resale Right (ARR) fee, which is determined and subtracted from the selling price. The sale follows UK and EU regulations, with reporting to DACS and proceeds given to artists.
For further secondary sales within the year, a 15% commission applies.
For non-members opting for a private secondary market sale via OAA, a 20% commission, along with the ARR, will be deducted from the final sale price.

Dedicated art finder team
In the world of art platforms, attention to individual clients often diminishes as they grow. Our unique service stands out by sourcing artworks from both UK and international markets on your behalf. We prioritize authenticity and legality in all artworks sold or acquired, ensuring your peace of mind.
Art valuation advisory service
Undertaken on your behalf and provided through OAA via highly experienced, industry accredited professionals.
Objective market insights
With over two decades of data, our industry price database offers realised auction prices, estimates for upcoming sales, and sale details. This empowers you to conveniently monitor your art's performance over time.
Fine art restoration advisory service
Artworks, including paintings, might necessitate restoration during their lifetime. To ensure the preservation of their historical and artistic significance, this restoration process is facilitated by OAA through accomplished, industry-accredited professionals. Restorations are executed with utmost care, guaranteeing the integrity of the artwork remains intact.
Picture framing advisory service
Frames can be crucial to the experience you have with your artwork and should complement and enhance the way a piece looks, but frames can also play a key role in protecting it too. The choice of frame is an important design decision. Keep in mind that original frames on original works of art should never be separated as doing so, in some cases, can affect its value.
Making art impactful in rooms
Ever adored a painting but puzzled about fitting it seamlessly into your existing art collection or home decor? Our expertise comes to the rescue – if you already have an art collection, we provide guidance on the optimal incorporation of your new acquisitions. Melding these elements harmoniously isn't always straightforward, and turning art into a cornerstone of your space's design demands skillful finesse.

OAA is proud to actively support artists
The Artist's Resale Right (ARR) royalties provide essential income to artists, enabling them to create new work and providing essential support to the entire art world eco-system.
The ARR is levied on sales from Oil's secondary-market artworks for works over the GBP equivalent of €1000, at 4% of the sales price ex VAT up to €50,000. At €50,001, the percentage drops to 3% upto €200,000, and 1% upto €350,000, 0.5% upto €500,000 and 0.25% over €500,000 upto €2,000,000.
Please note: this scale is cumulative, which means that where the sale price is higher than the first threshold, the royalty on each portion of the price must be calculated accordingly and added together to arrive at the final sum.
