THE ARTIST'S RESALE RIGHT (ARR, commonly referred to as "droit de suite" by auction houses and dealers) was implemented in the UK from 14 February 2006 by Statutory Instrument 2006 No. 346.2 The Directive provides an artist with a right to receive a royalty based on the price obtained for any resale of an original work of art, in the secondary market subsequent to the first transfer by the artist. The Directive defines an original work of art as "works of graphic or plastic art such as pictures, collages, paintings, drawings, engravings, prints, lithographs, sculptures, tapestries, ceramics, glassware and photographs". It therefore excludes what is sometimes termed the "decorative arts", such as furniture and jewellery. The right does not apply to re-sales between individuals acting in their private capacity, without the participation of an art market professional; or to re-sales by persons acting in their private capacity to museums which are not for profit and are open to the public.
• The ARR apples to works sold in the secondary market by qualifying living artists or artists who have been dead for less than 70years
• • Payments are to be gathered and distributed through a collecting society.
• • Single payments cannot exceed €12,500.
• • No commissions are payable on sales beneath €1,000.
• • Royalties are set at the following rates:
a) 4% for the portion of the sale price up to €50,000;
b) 3% for the portion of the sale price from €50,000,01 to €200,000;
c) 1% for the portion of the sale price from €200,000,01 to €350,000;
d) 0.5% for the portion of the sale price from exceeding €350,000 to €500,000;
