Introducing the Collector’s Club

Do you own an original work of art by Timothy deVries? This blog post is especially for you. If you still love your piece, take a photo of it in your home or office setting and post it on Instagram. And please tag me @timothy_devries_art to spread the word. 

If you’re on the fence about the piece you have, or have decided to move it along, please read on! Those are the very reasons for the establishment of my ‘Collector’s Club’.

The purpose of the Collector’s Club is to increase the value of the works you own, and to increase your appreciation of them.

Anyone who is not presently a member of the Collector’s Club can become a member of the club by purchasing one or more of my pieces on this website. 

Through the Collector’s Club, Timothy deVries is offering the following services:

  • Appraisal and Provenance Certificate: I would be pleased to prepare an appraisal and provenance certificate with details about your work of art. Depending on the piece, this service might include photo-documentation, and/or a retro-active titling and signature. A flat fee of $20 – $50 applies for this service.
  • Win-Win Referrals: Happy with your piece? Please recommend my art to a friend or family member! You will earn merchandise, and your referral will get a friend/family discount of 10% should they choose to buy a piece.
  • Discount on Merchandise: All members of the Collector’s Club will receive a 15% discount on merchandise from now until the end of 2024. Please ask for a catalogue of the merchandise I currently have available.
  • Priority Commissions: Like my style and want to commission an original painting? Members of the Collector’s Club get guaranteed delivery of their piece within 8 months of the commission.
  • Trade in, Trade up: No longer enjoying your piece? Trade it in, and direct a portion (2/3rds) of the paid or estimated value toward another piece. As a contemporary artist in Hamilton, Ontario, Timothy deVries has an active art practice, and you may very well find something you like to hang over that sideboard in the dining room.
  • Title Tracing: Have you decided to sell, loan, or give away an original work of art by Timothy deVries? Please help to keep my provenance records up to date by getting in touch to share the name of its new owner and location. 

It begins with an email or phone call. As the original works on my website represent only a fraction of what is available, I would be happy to create a custom, no-obligation prospectus of works for you, your friend, or your family member.

I am open to your suggestions and eager to answer your questions as I curate this community of collectors. Please get in touch with me if you would like to take advantage of these offers. 

Yours sincerely,

Timothy deVries
