Artoil-A, everything is relative.
and if your tips lead to clear financial success, everyone would follow them ..
But life is - all "differently" ..

I tend to report the existence of scientific methodology. But the laws of psychology before the moment of awareness of the artist hid from success. So I do not advise. And in the life of another - many artists will be begging.

I already wrote that it works against predatory market in Russia has created a fanatical situation. Production of, often talented, and sometimes brilliant, along with artists create writers and poets.

Look at the typical "Memo authors' Petrozavodsk publisher of the journal" North ", marked by premium seats" for their excellent work. "
I quote from the site of the magazine:

"Instructions for authors
The paper edition of any literary periodical inevitably arise moments when the author does not match the desire and the objective reality, with the result that usually suffers from the author's self-esteem. The author wants to get a quick and positive response. Or, if the answer is still negative, then a justification for failure (Review) and try to convince the editors of the opposite. But the editors of the "North" is small, a lot of manuscripts received. In addition, a review - it is the individual works that require considerable time and labor, payment of which does not provide organizational and statutory independent institution, "Editorial," Journal of the "North".

To clearly understand the situation, we recommend that authors carefully read the following provisions.

Manuscripts are not returned and not reviewed.

The editors reserve the right not to enter into correspondence with authors whose works will not be published.

The editors do not have the ability to pay royalties, so the author should accompany the manuscript magazine offered royalty-free agreement to publication.

Contents do not necessarily reflect the views of the editorial board to topics covered.

For the accuracy of facts and figures responsibility of the authors.

Thus, the authors sent the manuscript to the editor of his works and contact details or e-mail. The Editorial Board considers the received product within three months. If the decision is published, the editors associated with the author. In the course of the correspondence discusses the final text, as well as the author provides a brief biography and a photo if you did not do so immediately.

The authors did not receive messages from the office for three months, must conclude that their works were rejected. Refine this they can call (8142) 784 736.

Such impudence was not an imperial, or in Soviet Russia.

GALLERY OF SHAME and publishing houses, robbing ARTISTS AND WRITERS!!!

Yeah, just like Maksudova of the "Theatre of the novel":

I remember that often in the contract came across the word "Buda" and
"Inasmuch as", and that each item began with the words: "The author has no
rights. "
   The author had no right to transfer his play to another theater
Moscow.
   The author had no right to transfer his play in a theater
the city of Leningrad.
   The author had no right to transfer his play in any city
RSFSR.
The author had no right to transfer his play in any city of the USSR.
   The author had no right to publish their
play.
   The author had no right to demand something from the theater, and then - I
forgotten (paragraph 21 th).
   The author had no right to protest against something, and
Why - do not remember.
   One, however, broke the uniformity of this item
document - it was the 57th item. He began with the words: "The author
undertakes. "According to this paragraph, the author undertook to" unequivocally and
promptly make corrections in his play, the changes
additions or reductions, bude management, or any commission,
or agency, or organization, or corporation, or individuals
vested with appropriate powers of the fact, require such - not
demand for these things any remuneration, in addition, what is stated in
Paragraph 15 th. "
   Turning his attention to this point, I saw that it
after the word "reward" should have a blank
the place.

That this practice, beginners do not consider geniuses in their dreams.

Galleries in the first place should have a clientele. Of course it depends on the caliber of work presented in the gallery, where gallery owner takes work and prices.
When in the gallery are mainly represented by commercial artists , all the major are not perceived . When gallery owner takes work " to implement " the artists , which includes fraud artists, serious collectors will bypass these galleries party. Well, prices are obtained after the purchase of paintings at auction , or simply from the catalog Akun, his no.
Because of all this there is no serious and major galleries and prices.

This is more than 1000 USD (or how many?)

Near the gallery is selling street papers " gallery " artists ! . The average price of 500 - 1000 $. The galleries are 3-5 times more for similar work. Also, the artist made ​​to do work 10.5 meter format in a month for overseas sales models.
So what makes an artist or a 1500 - 5000 $ ( without hardship ), or severely over the years waiting for the realization of a work.

And who sells?
Themselves?

Added after 54 seconds
And that's what is it?

Yes. A group of prominent successful artists are not limited to trade through the gallery , and traded on the street (one of this group in the queue) . It is also sold via the Internet.
As for the " plan" foreign sales , I have repeatedly faced with the West European emissaries , who tried in Moscow to establish assembly-line production of copies or pastiches of printing samples.
And in one case, required to do work close to the old technology. Interestingly, the old technology is based on an erroneous prescription of the soil.
In the impressions , or gallery owners or brokers could not resist the intrigues of ( theft ) when given access to the goods.
And one , at one time a prominent businessman , took up painting abroad. Car. Stopped. Confiscated.
