Dear LCR!
The original deal with the work done by the artist and this is his absolute right to: sell, donate, discard, or destroy, as his heart's content. In the extreme case, with the sale, he will pay income tax.
Resale Royalty apply to all subsequent transactions, which makes not an artist, and the owner, to whom the painting was a gift, which he bought from the artist, or that found in the garbage. When such an owner decides to sell the painting in public, ie at auction or through a gallery, then such public seller (auction house or gallery LLC) are required to pay the resale royalty the artist or his heirs. Typically, these 5%are laid in the amount of sales, so that they actually paid by the buyer.
And how the auction house or gallery, this time as agents, are calculated with the artists and their heirs are ... another question

Yes, daughter, you are absolutely right.
So I wrote, judge for yourself:

In other words, the resale royalty due when the owner of the picture which is not its author, sells it under specified conditions (or auctioned through the gallery, etc.)

I do not really understand how they could write in a commentary by the author that the transfer of ownership of their work to a third party is considered to be the first resale, it is very strange and does not correspond to reality.
