Resell at a fair price, without the auctions

Major international auction houses and local salerooms alike charge high fees on both sides (seller and buyer) and guarantee no outcome; consumer platforms like Facebook Marketplace expose you to unqualified buyers, scams and rock-bottom prices. With L'Original, your work is first evaluated and authenticated, then shown to real collectors, including via Artsy, the global art-market showcase, while keeping control over your reserve price.

Evaluation and authenticity guaranteed by experts

Every piece proposed for resale in Valence is reviewed by our evaluators: market estimate, provenance and authenticity checks. You know exactly what you hold and what it's worth before any sale.

An international network of buyers

Your work isn't limited to the local Valence market: our collector network spans Canada, France and the United States, shipped from Montréal to France. More qualified buyers means a better price for your patrimony.

Are you the artist? Sell your work and join the gallery

Looking to sell your own paintings in Valence and exhibit in a gallery? There are several ways to sell your art: online marketplaces like Artsy offer a global showcase and strong visibility to collectors; the most reputable galleries in North America bring credibility, guidance and a network of serious buyers. L'Original combines both, a recognised physical gallery in Montréal and an online shop, shipped from Montréal to France.

For an artist, joining a gallery like L'Original means access to qualified collectors, exhibitions and a fairer share of every sale than the classic commission (often 40–60%). You can apply as an artist and present your work directly.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get my painting evaluated in Valence?

Send us photos (front, back, signature, details) and any known information (artist, dimensions, provenance). Our experts get back to you with an estimate and the next steps.

Which works do you accept for resale?

Primarily works by blue-chip or recognised artists, and pieces in sought-after styles (street art, contemporary, abstract…). If in doubt, submit your piece, the evaluation will tell.

Is it better than auctions?

Often yes: no buyer's premium dragging down the net price, no unsold fees, and a private sale within a targeted network, shipped from Montréal to France.

I'm the artist: how do I sell my work and join the gallery?

If you are the author of the works, don't resell them, exhibit them. Apply as an artist with L'Original to sell your paintings in Valence through our Montréal gallery and online shop, like Artsy and the major North American galleries, but with a fairer share.
