Q: Do I need an appointment?
A: There is no appointment necessary (hours: Monday – Friday 9am – 5:30pm; Saturday 10:00am – 4:30pm.)
While you are welcome to pop in and browse without an appointment, please note that we typically need an hour’s minimum (or more for larger orders) to write up and wrap an order to go out. Please budget time for the rental process as we usually have several orders queued up every day and cannot always get to your order immediately.

Q: Is all artwork cleared?
A: All artwork available for rental at L&F falls into one of two categories: 1) we purchase the art directly from the artist or the family (estate) of the artist and they have given us their written permission to allow the artwork to be photographed and / or filmed. 2) We have thoroughly researched the artwork looking for the artist or any know estate for the artist. If the piece appears to be orphaned and not attached to any know living artist or active artists estate, we allow the piece to be rented.

A: No! Not unless given explicit permission in writing from the manager.

A: We do not consign, but happy to see what you have and we might purchase it.
