And all the galleries favorably disposed to the fact that the artist exhibited /sold somewhere else? Are there any unwritten rules?

If there are no restrictive conditions in the contract, then sell their work as you like. But according to the unwritten laws of repetitions \\\\ if there is /or author's copies to sell at different prices in different places, is unethical.

What to do with them? (Different materials. Test. ... Formats) Do not throw it?
And the sketches, fragmentary samples? How do they present? "In one vial or as a" free product ", or cataloged and put" until better times "?
Sisley UEFA remembered. that hung in the toilet (for tysch 300 pounds. as it turned out)

;) Natalie! Did you count them all are you working, appreciate their \\\\ can not shy \\\\ and count all the money - yes You're a millionaire! And every morning performed this training!! Beauty!

Thank you dear for your kind words, but because of the soup does not boil (although samozoznaniem no problems) and no place to store and skladavat nowhere, and a year later recorded. It must be in one place to gather and document all work. (With invertarnymi numbers for order)

We have a new phenomenon in Peter \\ may be interested in promoting the artists \\ - the featherbed ranks near Gostinka artists substantiated peculiar association. To rent their own unit 15-20 m purse. There themselves. and sell their paintings and in the same writing small. For many places have taken. Portraits to order, and so I think there are any vacancies for rent. Downtown cozy place! How much rent are taking do not know. but I still profitable.

With regard to donate to some museum "300 best paintings.

I type the artist. And somehow I never had the ability to do the right gifts. If my picture sees random people ("random" - meaning not specifically come to buy now) and I saw that he kind of like my picture, I can succumb to the momentum and give. Especially if a friend or acquaintance.
About 1 /3 paintings probably - from friends and acquaintances.
And often to see my pictures vg. attitude - hang in frames in prominent places.
 Personally, I'm not ready to throw in someone's basement (even for the sake of promotion) 300 of my paintings.

And on the topic - who knows the artist, get loose with the impact of all (300 still) better? Since TZ mathematics - pure nonsense.

You are largely correct. Often these gifts simply rot without the conditions of storage in the vaults of the provincial museum. It would be better to sell the painting in good hands, where there will be grooming, love and cherish. Giving wisely, if there is a guarantee of inclusion of works in the permanent ekpozitsiyu. But how many artists can both agree with the museum?

This humor is probably so. He sits the artist, powered by the Holy Spirit - wrote the pictures to them then someone give wholesale :)
In fact, some (not all, of course) Museums "hooked" on gifts in the 90's, in my opinion, when the budget was not there. Agreed to do this exhibition - are ready to work. Do you want-not want, does not matter. Interestingly, somewhere else or is practiced only here.

Clarify its opinion.
Within reasonable limits a gift to the museum is beneficial to all parties. Museum expands collection for free, and the artist can then raise their prices due to the information that his works are in collections of prestigious museums. Moreover, the artist receives a directory print that stands quite expensive.

But given the painting as a gift in bulk in large quantities - is useless if no special arrangements for the permanent exhibition. Especially if it is weak provincial museum with a mass of their problems, without conditions, exposure and storage.
