So often people think "Geniuses".: D

Paul, again you for your ... Have read somewhere in the popular literature (French, before last century, in the modern pervode) and dream of that "someone buys and waiting ..." You represent everything from the perspective of the artist, making it easier ... The gallery houses works 150-200. And you think that all this is purchased "by amateurs, collectors and gallery owners with the aim quick gains ..
Your arguments do not relate to any side of the picture ...

Without claiming to be the truth would say. that neither the U.S. nor in Canada, where I had to work with galleries - no one buys. Begin to cooperate with the artist (or intermediary) with 10 works (On average). Less is not interesting for the market. And there, too galereist decides with which the artist works with what is not, what work takes, what is not ...
And the price dictated by their (ie the one offered by the market, and the artist gets half). Buy gallery and there may, but is bidding to five times less ... Perhaps someone has a different experience. It will be interesting to know (to his prischuchit :))...

[QUOTE=AlexanderG;678794] The mechanism is very simple-traders sit in the hall of the galleries are a lot of le t know each other well. They can buy or will buy someone else besides, but at a higher price or the price of the auction if the goods are quite stale. But if the day be held up to 10 auctions is that enough? Look at how many auctions held in Paris in a week. This is a great auctions are rare.

Paul, what auctions you have in mind? They're also very different (like shops) ..

The same traders from buying paintings galleries on the most auctions, where they sit. Therefore, they have in the galleries of paintings already being sold and sometimes for a specific customer with the already agreed-upon price. For example client requests to find Utrillo. If he will look for something he simply will not buy at bargain prices, the same traders. He arranges for a certain amount, such as 2000000, if a trader was able to buy what happens, then 2ooooo-za1800000 his earnings. In addition, they buy things for which they have other customers and are in demand.

Drouot in Montmartre, where 16 rooms, besides a Commissioner winners their auction houses. You can take the Gazette de Drouot and see. They advertised on the site they can see.
