This then rkch. But I am signing a contract with the artist under the compulsory sale of 1.2 operations per month (or for a certain amount), and every six months, we are taking stock. If sold more - payable balances, if less - the artist has already received his. But less - is that the work of this gallery. We need to know what you do and if you can not sell 2 of the contract the artist - engaged in another matter.

But, apparently, quite a different expression on his face ...

Well if everything as you say.

I'm talking about his gallery. How are others, I do not know ...

That is now read and smile.
As well all the same, that there are gallery owners, whose paintings are not "an end in itself", but only a consequence of with artist. : D
What is a "work with an artist such enlighten. :)
Do not sleep, no sleep, artist
Be not over much sleep.
You - eternity hostage
At the time in captivity. (c)

Boris Pasternak! Better him one of the artist did not write.

Yes. I always remember these lines, when I hear from gallerists phrase "work with an artist".

So it seems that the gallery owner, at night in the window the artist's studio, these lines at night reciting, working with the artist. Only the last sentence says: and I have a captive!

: D: D: D

Besides all the already mentioned there are gallery owners, delaying payments for already sold paintings, some pay slowly, parts. They believe Vilim, it is their money, as debts to the well-known proverb. There are galleries, artist renting the hall, because this is also practiced, ie immediately taken from the artist's money for what he can do in this gallery exhibition for the promotion (at best).

If the gallery leases hall artist, then the commission should not take, but it is nonsense ... And get all the details of the commitments should be available to discuss ...

This is the normal point of view, not snobby ... We have created in this business "simplified", so to speak, the situation is. Artists of many, and adequate places for sale not the same ... Therefore, developing the practice of "selling everywhere, wherever possible, and this method takes more and more good artists. In this case, limited choice of subjects, but not level. You are almost everywhere today can buy landscapes, flowers, architecture, good artists, but be capable to choose personally and you will find at normal prices. Who needs a steeper exhibition ...
