Art Sourcing Service — Dubai
Mondoir's sourcing service helps Dubai collectors find specific artworks — by named artist, by series, or by a brief — from private collections, galleries, and auction houses across 40+ countries.
Mondoir is a global online contemporary art platform that ships original artworks worldwide. We work with emerging and established artists across painting, sculpture, photography, and limited-edition prints — with full authentication, provenance, and white-glove logistics.
Our sourcing engagements typically take 2–12 weeks and include review of available seller documentation, provenance research, condition reporting, negotiation, and confidential handling.
Contact our sourcing team to discuss your brief, budget, and timeline.
Frequently asked questions
How does the sourcing process work?
A deposit equal to 5% of your declared maximum artwork budget is payable after signing the sourcing agreement. It is an advance, not an additional purchase charge. If you acquire an artwork, the entire deposit is credited against the artwork purchase price. There is no separate successful-acquisition service fee. If you decline acquisition or cancel the sourcing agreement, USD 1,000 per documented calendar day of active sourcing work may be deducted from the deposit. A billable day is a calendar day on which sourcing work was actually performed for your request, not every day the request remained open. The signed agreement authorizes this daily rate; active days must be reasonably documented. The daily-fee deduction is capped at the deposit, and the remaining deposit balance is refundable. If no suitable artwork is found, the deposit is refunded in full, less documented third-party costs incurred with your prior approval. The USD 1,000/day deduction does not apply merely because no suitable work was found. For a USD 100,000 maximum budget, the 5% deposit is USD 5,000. If you buy an artwork for USD 80,000, all USD 5,000 credits the artwork and the remaining artwork balance is USD 75,000. No 3% service fee is added. Separately agreed shipping, taxes and third-party costs are itemized separately.
