How you reach VIP
We total your qualifying activity over the trailing 12 months — lifetime sales for artists and galleries, lifetime spend for collectors. When you cross the threshold, VIP is applied automatically and you’ll see it in your dashboard. Status is reviewed every 12 months; if your activity stays above the threshold, it simply renews.
Thresholds are denominated in euros and apply regardless of the currency you trade in. VIP can also be extended by invitation for institutions and notable collectors.
