Maskit, if you do not talk about self-promotion, and sale of circumvention or in addition to galleries, so that's another story.
I do not know on what terms the agreement signed by Larry Gagosian with their artists, but I suspect that either he buys all the works which the artist wants to sell or the artist receives a certain number of pictures of him a guaranteed annual amount, which is quite enough for a decent life .
Probably just did not find in our gallery, which is able to sign the contract and buy all of Katya Medvedeva, that's all. Well her to stop writing?
 Specifically, in my personal case, I offer two galleries collaborate in the scheme, let us take pictures on the commission agree on the price level, you do not sell below, but guarantees that we have something to sell for a certain time, do not give. Why do I need this cooperation? And in the CHA offered through a gallery exhibit. Having said, I said, you know, but I just try it yourself!
That's selling artists themselves. And you know perfectly well that they themselves are selling and the Russian artists of the first series, we will not point fingers.

I am not in any way plead for self-promotion and no more! On the contrary, it takes so much time that works for neither the strength nor the resources are left. But it is better to unwind yourself WAITING reliable business partner, than to sit at all in uncertainty and wait until the very serious gallery comes to you. Imho.

Grey, I 'm talking about the website , and not about a contract artist and gallery . And the fact that somewhere in a small-town artist pleased with his range of buyers, so I'm happy for him I'm sure . That in some village there is a draftsman with a local girl who will exchange a bottle of vodka for his masterpiece, and it also does not want to Sotheby's, Sotheby's and it has to beat off all the thresholds . A company that Murakami abruptly galerei.kstati any personal cell did not tell me ?

In one cart can not harness a horse and quivering doe . ( c) :D>

You , excuse me, while in this case are new . But you , I hope you will understand in time that the creator and marketer of creations in one person does not comme il faut , and it is invariable from our poverty, as always.
And , Seriy, do not be ridiculous - do not bring in an example of " an American artist in San Francisco ," is like " an old woman said, " and in the world there are many different originals, weirdos and Crank .
 :D>

Want to buy a cheap pair of prints directly? It! Disapprove, why pay middlemen and even the author would be pleased , perhaps - know , remember , are interested .
 :D> :D> :D>
_____________

I look at , Seriy, then Picasso as an example of lead , then Murakami , the Gagosian remember that Vladimir and Hirst to Hockney to send for the interview .
Good for you! :)>

Maskit, this is not the company is engaged Murakami, Murakami is set up his company, which is engaged in its affairs under his personal direction . And the fact that she , as you said, abruptly picture - only service Murakami, who thus refutes your thesis about the precariousness of the initiative.
And Hirst is the same company that he represented her in his video introduction to the exhibition at the Pinchuk.
The strength of Western gallerists that they make exclusive agreements with artists, while those hanging on personal cell sites, and no interest telefonchik when a person has become a world star :-)

Cyril Syzran, read my posts on this issue carefully , slowly, please . And here is some old woman ? Artist real , I'd post a thread about his work writing about how Lisa wrote on Eshrik .

Prints in Japan is like 600 dollars ( a topic for print) , but they are just selling out in San Francisco at retail 3.5 thousand , will now be at Phillips on the 25th, I wrote.

Why Vladimir can not do an interview with Hearst ? could well and would be interested.

What, you do not know the conditions of the contract with Larry artists? :D> And yet you allow yourself to enter into dialogue with the dealers and gallery owners ? It's a scandal ! But you will reveal a terrible secret : the contract between the artists and Gagosyanom written in blood, literally. Guess whose blood :)>

Yes krasavcheg that speak :D> Cyril Syzran, you have probably about a forgotten:

iside, and you know that China has banned anonymous online?
walk into the Inet under his own name.
And the forecast Futurist-2020 anonymous to the web will disappear, enter the Inet will fingerprint, without any nicks and passwords.

Live to see, see, and then laugh.

Seriy, I did not know it , you all know :D>

dream today . Passed by . And tomorrow and tomorrow you will meet with her. Do not be sad. The whole life ahead. The whole life ahead. Hope and Wait ( c)

You might even own a picture of his last name not sign.
:D>

Da empty hronofagi generally employed ever need .. Creators of (real ) as it does not focus on the leisure ...
Maskit, this is a philosophical issue and not unique .. a lot of fine choices .. " Life Saving , the handiwork of drowning " ( c)
A status of zero initially for all first-generation artists ..

And how would you specifically suggest to start "zero hydozhniku ​​" , ideally ? Would be very interesting to share thoughts , bydte kind ..

Gray does not accepts my suggestions on the promotion of the artist at his own expense , I am above etogo.Vplane Murakami , etc. . I think there are many pitfalls that we can not even guess , and without the Yakuza has not done And lose one's attraction to me it is something in the last minute. Home is the position of a comrade from San Francisco to me too clear - born to crawl can not fly , I wish you hhochet success in your show and it always will be visiting

and what you meant by " promotion "?
Any activity aimed at the public presentation of their work is on your promotion ?
Solo exhibition with its inherent attributes , this promotion ?
A group ?
A competition ?
A Picnic ?
A symposium ?
A residence?
A grant ?
A. ......
A. ..
A .
A.
so , all these elements of participation in the artist painter. Life is also a "promotion" ?
So apart from the artist Nobody INTERESTED ....!!!

Cyril Syzran, signing a pseudonym because of the large number of Russian artists with the same name. The catalog for the exhibition are the passport name - who needs it - read , no special secrets no.


Maskit, I also podostyl for Murakami, but the timeliness of its images (the road to dinner spoon ) and the promotion of delight .
Come to the exhibition and the vernissage , I am glad I will see you.

But on the surnames of your pictures no artist - there is some sort of nickname.

Cyril Syzran, and that Van Gogh's paintings in a name?

And Picasso's no Picasso, but Ruiz Blasco, well?
Who else finds it necessary, and signs, this is an artistic tradition.

For zero artists in our country may depend on retsepty.Vse temperementa and desires of the artist to do this for a long time . If you do not take EPOTE azhny option such as biting passers-by and shitting in front of VANGOGami , we can unite for a pack with like-minded and to organize the gallery Losers - with the slogan , and the last shall be first! , redeem each groomsman at auction pictures, painting portraits of our leaders and to hide away .. mediakumirov conscience and begin to wriggle himself , even slanderous , to well-known artists. spread rumors about finding yourself in private kollektsiyah.izdat albom.kupit art to writing articles. All you can do this alone, but will have to pay one.
