Terms of Sale & Archive Protection
Studio Zabo
Studio Zabo is an independent, artist-run studio committed to long-term artistic integrity, archival control, and direct collector relationships. The following terms are non-negotiable and apply to all acquisitions.
---
1. Core Archive Protection
Certain works within the Studio Zabo archive are permanently held and not for sale under any circumstances. These include, but are not limited to:
The SQUEEZEROOM 1
KAIROS
Chispa del Toro
Shishito (pending status)
These foundational works are reserved for the long-term vision and institutional legacy of the artist. Offers to acquire them will not be considered, regardless of price.
---
2. Originals Available by Private Inquiry Only
Original works are not publicly listed for purchase and are made available to collectors on a selective, invitation-only basis. Serious inquiries may be submitted through the private contact form or by direct email.
The studio reserves the right to decline any offer that does not align with the positioning, values, or long-term trajectory of the archive.
---
3. Editions and Prints
Limited edition prints and works on paper may be made available periodically via the Studio Zabo website. Editions are clearly marked, numbered, and priced. All sales are final unless otherwise stated.
---
4. Pricing & Valuation
All pricing is determined by the artist based on scale, medium, historical significance, and collector history. Studio Zabo does not participate in discounting, price negotiation, or volume-based pricing models.
Acquiring a work from Studio Zabo is not a transaction — it is a long-term investment in a living archive.
---
5. Framing & Shipping
Framing for original works is available upon request and will be quoted separately.
All originals ship directly from the studio with proper provenance documentation.
The studio is not responsible for international customs fees, but will assist with documentation where applicable.
---
6. Copyright & Reproduction
Studio Zabo retains all rights to the imagery and intellectual property of sold works. No reproduction, licensing, or commercial use is permitted without written consent. Acquisition of a work does not transfer any usage rights beyond private display.
---
7. Resale Policy & Collector Registry
The studio tracks provenance and collector placement to preserve historical integrity. Collectors are encouraged to notify the studio before resale or transfer of ownership.
Early collectors who maintain transparency with resale or exhibition activity may receive priority access to future releases.
---
8. Institutional Loans
Institutional loans are handled directly through the studio. Loan requests for core archive works must be proposed with ample notice and accompanied by full curatorial information.
