The idea of leasing artworks (art leasing) for decoration of offices and private homes came to American gallery owners, was developed in Europe and currently has become one of the permanent activities of galleries in these countries. In Russia, for objective reasons, this sector of art business is still underdeveloped and only gathering pace.
While the competition is improving, large Russian companies more frequently care not only for the quality and benefits of their business proposals but also of the creation of favourable image in line with international standards: corporate identity, dress code for the staff, professional decoration of office interior, including paintings.
It is paintings leasing that allows solving the problem of interior decoration adequately, it provides an alternative to purchasing paintings - excellent opportunity for those companies and families that love art of good quality but want to stay within the limits of monthly planned budget.
As a rule, art leasing involves long-term contractual relations between the customer and the gallery or the artist, which allows for periodic renewal and replacement of the exposition and looking for that very artwork which complies with the customer's spiritual needs and interior requirements. If the artwork finds itself "at its right place", usually the customer has the right to buy it or to extend the lease period. If a painting is bought out, previous payments are considered.
Not the least of the factors is the fact that art leasing allows for interior decoration with original paintings (not art prints!) which possess greater biological energy and create unique atmosphere. Frequently only such form of work provides an opportunity to see the best works of artists which comprise their "gold fund" and are not sold.

Artworks from the artist's private collection which are not intended for sale are leased in exceptional cases. The basic paintings lease terms are set forth below.
