Legal notice

The following legal notices apply to your use of the Tessera Contemporary website and services. Please read them carefully. This page is provided for general informational purposes and does not constitute legal advice.

Not Investment, Financial, or Legal Advice

Content on this website—including market commentary, valuation references, artist information, and collecting guidance—is provided for general informational purposes only. It does not constitute investment, financial, tax, or legal advice, and should not be relied upon as the sole basis for any acquisition, disposal, or financial decision. Art markets are inherently subject to fluctuation, and past performance or market history is not a guarantee of future value. Collectors should consult independent financial, tax, or legal advisors before making significant acquisitions.

Not a Formal Appraisal

Market references, valuation estimates, and pricing guidance provided by Tessera Contemporary are informal in nature and do not constitute a certified or formal appraisal. Where a certified appraisal is required—for insurance, estate, tax, or legal purposes—collectors should engage an independent, credentialed appraiser.

Provenance & Authenticity

Tessera Contemporary conducts independent due diligence on works presented through our platform, including provenance review, condition assessment, and, where applicable, cross-referencing against exhibition history and available catalogues raisonnés. However, the art market does not offer absolute certainty of authenticity, and due diligence reflects information reasonably available at the time of review. Tessera Contemporary's verification process does not constitute a warranty against all possible claims, and collectors are encouraged to request supporting documentation prior to purchase.

Third-Party Sources & Galleries

Works presented on this website may be sourced through independent galleries, dealers, or private collections. While we conduct independent verification, certain information—including artist biographies, market data, and historical records—may originate from third-party sources believed to be reliable. Tessera Contemporary does not guarantee the completeness or ongoing accuracy of third-party information, which may change after publication.

Market Data & Statistics

References to auction records, market averages, or comparable sales reflect publicly available data at the time of publication or last review. Market conditions change, and figures displayed on this website may not reflect current market status. Where a specific transaction is contemplated, collectors should request an updated market reference from our advisory team.

Intellectual Property

All content on this website—including text, layout, and original photography—is the property of Tessera Contemporary or its licensors and may not be reproduced without permission. Images of artworks remain the intellectual property of the respective artists or their estates and are used for representational purposes in connection with the works offered.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Tessera Contemporary shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use of this website or reliance on information contained herein. Nothing in this notice limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for fraud or willful misconduct.

Jurisdiction & Governing Law

[To be completed with the governing law and jurisdiction applicable to Tessera Contemporary's place of incorporation or principal place of business — please consult legal counsel to determine the appropriate clause, particularly given cross-border operations across multiple jurisdictions.]

Changes to This Notice

This legal notice may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. The date of the most recent update will be noted at the bottom of this page.

This page does not constitute legal advice and has not been reviewed by qualified legal counsel.
