ARTWORK BILL OF SALE TEMPLATE FAQ
What is an artwork bill of sale?
An Artwork Bill of Sale is a document that confirms the purchase and sale of a specific artwork. It identifies the buyer and seller, describes the artwork, states the purchase price, and confirms the transfer of ownership from seller to buyer.
What should be included to describe the artwork?
A good description usually includes the artist name, title, year, medium, dimensions, and any identifying details like edition number, signature, certificate of authenticity (COA), and provenance notes. The more specific the description, the easier it is to prevent disputes.
Does an artwork bill of sale transfer copyright too?
Usually no. Most art sales transfer physical ownership of the piece, not the copyright or reproduction rights, unless the agreement explicitly says otherwise. This template includes an optional section to clarify whether any intellectual property rights are included.
Should you include a certificate of authenticity?
If available, yes. A certificate of authenticity and provenance documents help support authenticity and value. This template includes a section to list attachments and supporting documents.
What warranties are common in an artwork bill of sale?
Sellers often warrant they own the artwork and have the right to sell it, and that the artwork is free of liens. Some sales are “as-is,” especially in private sales. This template includes both options.
