You are welcome to contact us relating to the collections and we are always happy to discuss exhibition or publication. Images and texts from these pages can be used freely but we would ask for full acknowledgments in publications or online. We retain copyright on all original material herein.

PACKING

We try to keep costs down and we are also aware of the effects of packing on the environment.

Where possible we try to recycle packaging materials. If you require new pristine packing boxes/envelopes (say for a gift) then please let us know.

Large posters are usually rolled and sent in firm tubes - if you require flat packing for any large item then please let us know on ordering:in such cases, there may be a surcharge to cover the extra costs.

Other items are send in appropriate packaging.

INSURANCE

We will cover all shipments with full loss insurance up to £250. Thereafter a surcharge is needed.

We will consider sending items without full insurance but this is at the purchaser’s decision and risk. If you wish us to do this then please indicate in writing what you want us to do.

Unoriginal Sins is an established venture trading in the field of the contemporary and modern avant garde movements from 1900 to the present day. We have a vast inventory of books, documents, artworks, ephemera, object multiples, LPs and other digital media as well as representing major collections from significant artists.

We trade almost entirely online - we purchase new material all the time and offer regular clients email lists (which you can sign up to here) of new arrivals. Soon after the distribution of those lists, new items are placed online so it is worth returning regularly to this site to see what new things are for sale.

It may be possible to visit in person and see our inventory but that is by appointment only - please email us. We can supply references for new clients should that be required.

We are always looking for new material to add to our stocks - we have a desiderata here but we are interested in all material that is similar to our core interests. Do get in touch.
