Art is being made for people: Art Rental in Munich
Art is being made for people - or, so the myth, art is the artist's gift to humanity. This in mind I am always pleased to make my work available to people for a longer period and in a more intimate context than a public exhibit. Art rental is a good alternative to buying art, because the financial burden is negligible and the risks of bad buy or habituation are dispelled. In addition to selling art, I am renting my art to individuals and businesses for several years now and it has been a consistently positive experience - for both sides.
A few years ago I have published many of my formal experience
(What lease contract to use when renting art?
How to calculate the price for renting art?
What tax issues entrepreneurs should consider in Germany?) in my
(often pirated)
portal bilderpool.org
to which I am here linking directly. It also contains my observations regarding the
internal and external impact of art,
a page with frequently asked questions, and - yes! -
a list of artists who rent their works.
(Many first steps are required to change our economic system and make it
sustainable - including my own.)
Cost, availability, selection
The above formula to calculate rental costs will require prices of individual works of art which in my case you'll find here. In my experience it costs approximately 100 Euro a month (plus VAT) for businesses to furnish 100 sqm lavishly with art, halve the price for individuals. But this is only a rough guide as the rental costs of course primary depend on size and value of each object, as well as general conditions (rental period, accessibility). But if you have a specific request or work with a firm budget: please contact me and I'll give you an individual offer.
Not all images shown here are always available. You'll get a relatively timely overview of what is available the moment at my studio near Munich by visiting http://www.soika.com/available. To facilitate choosing paintings that fit your rooms a version sorted by size (height x width) and a selection of art works grouped by color are available.
