Affirms tries hard to approve every purchase but sometimes can't approve the full amount. When this happens, Affirm provides a debit card down payment option so that you may still complete your purchase right away.
Return to Top

Why was I prompted for a checking account?

Affirm sometimes needs more information about your financial situation to evaluate your loan application. They may ask you to link your online checking account, which helps determine your ability to repay a loan. If you are prompted to link your checking account and would like to continue with the application process, you may link your account by providing the login information for your online bank account. Affirm does not store your online banking login information - they simply pass your login credentials to your bank via a secure service linking your checking account.

 Linking your checking account DOES NOT authorize Affirm to debit your account. It only allows them to determine your ability to pay.

For more information, contact Affirm at help@affirm.com or by calling 855-423-3729.

How does bidding work in Artspace Auctions?

Most Artspace auctions last two weeks. To bid in an Artspace Auction, we recommend creating an Artspace account so that you can log in to your account and keep the same user information for every auction. We will ask for your credit card information only once for verification when you place your first bid in an auction. You can then bid on any artwork in an auction by entering either the next highest bidding increment or the maximum price you are willing to pay for that artwork. By entering a maximum bid, our system will automatically bid on your behalf up to that dollar amount based on the auction bidding increments. You will receive an email confirmation when you have placed a bid and will be notified via email if you are outbid.

Some Artspace Auctions culminate in live auction events. If that is the case, your maximum bid will be transferred over to the live auction, and Artspace will either bid by proxy on your behalf or you may opt to continuing bidding online simultaneously with bidders in attendance at the event. The online auction end time will be clearly indicated below the bidding field.

How do I know if I am the highest bidder at the end of an auction?

If you are the highest bidder on an artwork, you will be contacted via email within 48 hours of the auction’s conclusion.

How does shipping work for auction pieces?

On top of the hammer price, the highest bidder is responsible for any shipping and handling costs as well as applicable taxes. Please see the Shipping Page for more information.

What framing options does Artspace offer?

Artspace offers professional framing on most framable artworks. Framing options are indicated on these artworks’ detail pages. Please visit the Framing & Care page for more information.

FRAME DETAILS & ELEMENTS

Frame:
All our frames are manufactured in the USA, using eco-friendly & sustainably sourced engineered hardwood for durability and a uniform finish that is free of defects. Frames are available in Black or White Satin and Honey Pecan and they will arrive wired and ready to hang.

Mat:
All prints are hinged to a conservation quality, acid-free and lignin-free Alpha Cellulose matboard, using an acid-free linen tape. The mat's surface paper is fade and bleed resistant and is attached to a conservation quality foam-core mounting board that will keep the work safe from deterioration over time. Artworks with a deckled or decorative edges will be floated on the matboard, with acrylic spacers to separate the art from the glazing. All mounting is fully reversible, without any potential damage to the art.

UV Glazing:
All of our frames come with UV-blocking acrylic plexi to prevent color fading from exposure to light, keeping your art protected for years to come. We offer Plexi glazing on framed works, as it is now considered the industry standard for artists, museums and galleries throughout the world.

Care:
Please care for your framed work with caution and only clean with a dry cloth on the moulding and soft cloth and Plexiglas cleaner on the face.

Questions:
If you have any questions about framing or care, please email service@artspace.com.
Return to Top

How can I best care for my artwork?

For two-dimensional artworks, we recommend you frame your new purchase as soon as possible using UV-blocking Plexi or glass as well as conservation-grade mat and board. For advice on caring for three-dimensional artworks, please contact an Artspace Art Advisor by emailing service@artspace.com.

What is a limited edition artwork?

Fine art editions offer an affordable and accessible way to build an art collection. Editioned artworks can vary in medium (from prints and sculptures to utilitarian objects, for example) and are produced at one time by the artist in a limited number. No additional artworks are ever produced beyond the determined edition number, which is why they remain valuable investment opportunities.
Return to Top

What is an Artspace Edition?

An Artspace Edition is a limited edition artwork produced and/or sold exclusively by Artspace. Our curators and production team members work closely with hand-picked artists to realize these editions. Artspace Editions are distinguished on the site by the Artspace Edition logo.
Return to Top

What is a print?

Printmaking is an umbrella term for a variety of fine art techniques that involve producing an artwork in multiples. These include various methods developed throughout the course of art history—from traditions such as etching, woodcut printing, and lithography to more recent advances like digital printing—all of which are derived from the same concept: the artist transfers an image of his or her own design from a source (a metal, wood, or stone plate, for example) to paper, fabric, or the like. Prints are produced in finite editions; no additional artworks are ever produced beyond the determined edition number, which is why they remain valuable investment opportunities.
