Enjoying art and buying art

At Museum Møhlmann you can, apart from enjoying art, also buy art. To do so you need to visit the gallery, as buying art is a very personal matter. No picture - however perfectly reproduced - could ever rival seeing the artwork with your own eyes.

Museum Møhlmann owns three collections: The Canto-Collection, the Møhlmann-Collection I (present-day realistic and figurative works) and the Møhlmann-Collection II (work of the painter himself). Not a single work of these collections is for sale. Apart from that Museum Møhlmann organizes a yearly exhibition (Februari-March) with paintings of Rob Møhlmann. These works are for sale. After the exhibition the paintings are not on display anymore, but still for sale. Throughout the year a number of Rob’s paintings will be exhibited (and for sale) at the "coffee-corner".

After this exhibition, four "guest-exhibitions" will be held, exclusively with work of fellow-artists. Nearly all these works are for sale. Sometimes this is not the case, as the guest is free to exhibit works that are either privately owned by a third party or are part of their private collection. In that case this is clearly indicated.

Once a year, during the so-called Independent Realists Exhibition the Museum Møhlmann exhibits over one hunderd works by over thirty renowned colleagues. Nearly all these works are for sale, although a few might be on loan. Also in that case this would be clearly indicated.

Buying a work of art In case a particular painting is bought, the work is marked with a red dot. The buyer will then see to it that the amount due is paid within two weeks. The work can be collected on the last day of the exhibition (after 16.00 hrs), or at a later date. During the exhibition the works are insured, and in case of theft or damage the amount paid will be returned. After the last day of the exhibition the work is no longer insured. If the buyer wishes to collect the work at a later date, Museum Møhlmann will take good care of it, but cannot be held responsible.

The option If you consider buying a work of art, but need some time to make a final decision, there is the possiblity of taking an option. The work will then be marked with a green dot. You then have a first claim to the work. This claim usually lasts one week. In within that period a third party should wish to buy the work, the Museum Møhlmann is entitled to notify you. In that case you are obliged to take an immediate decision.

Deferred payment Exclusively for the works of the painter Rob Møhlmann it is possible to purchase a painting by deferred payments. You can make enquiries at the museum. For the works of fellow-artists there is no such arrangement, although in future there might be.
