Why is VAT not shown separately on the website or my invoice?
Artworks sold under the VAT margin scheme fall under the special scheme for works of art. The price shown is the total price; no additional VAT is added. Under the margin scheme, VAT is not shown separately on the invoice. The invoice will state “Bijzondere regeling - kunstvoorwerpen” (special scheme – works of art).

Does Kunstiek buy artworks?
Yes, I regularly buy artworks. If you have an artwork you would like to sell, please send me a few clear photographs, the name of the artist, the dimensions and any additional information.
Based on this, I will assess whether the work fits the collection. In some cases, selling on consignment is also possible. I will then contact you to discuss the possibilities. You can find more information on the page Sell your artwork.

Herman Berserik (1921–2002) studied at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. He lived in Rijswijk for many years and was an undeniable part of the Hague art world. Berserik was considered a member of the New Hague School.
Berserik often created cheerful and humorous scenes, sometimes with a touch of surrealism, but also made beautiful landscapes and still lifes.
