Every square metre out on loan earns the artist who made the work 38% of what the member pays for it, for as long as it hangs. In 2026 that came to €56 140 across sixty-one people. Here is how the 1 184 m² currently out is divided between them.
Left: the fee per square metre per month on each membership, with the artist's 38% drawn inside it. Right: one real work, W-0412, followed for twenty-four months.
Median payment to an artist in 2026: €612. Largest: €2 980. Smallest: €43, to somebody with one small drawing that went out twice. Sales are separate — the artist takes 62% of any work bought off a wall.
b. 1949, Roermond · lives on Boschstraat · graphite and carbon on gessoed board, nothing larger than 900 mm. With us since the first year. Her boards are the works members renew most often, and three have been bought off walls.
W-0057 · Nachtregister 11 · 2019 · 300 × 420 mm · 0.13 m²
b. 1981, Hasselt · works in Genk · gouache and sandstone dust on linen, the dust dug out of the same quarry each spring. Her surfaces are matt and unglazed, which is why they come back with fingerprints and why we frame them deep.
W-0412 · Kalkbank III · 2023 · 1120 × 840 mm · 0.94 m²
b. 1989, Paramaribo · studio on Fregatweg, two doors from the depot · dyed cotton relief stretched over poplar. The largest things we lend, and the only works we refuse to hang above a radiator under any conditions.
W-1133 · Rood Verband · 2024 · 1500 × 1500 mm · 2.25 m²
b. 1994, Verviers · prints at the press on Statensingel · four- to six-colour silkscreen on folded paper, editions of twelve. The cheapest works we hold and the ones that go to film sets, because an edition can be replaced.
W-0871 · Vouwlijn 7 · 2022 · 760 × 1140 mm · edition 4 of 12
Together these six spend 4.93 m² — three quarters of a Vloer membership, and about a sixth of what Nkechi Baptiste alone has out this morning.
The next one is Saturday 7 March, 10:00–16:00 at the depot. Bring up to six works, framed or not, and a list of sizes. We take about one in four, we tell you on the day, and we say why. No submission fee and no portfolio by email — we need to see the surface.
