[Жар-птица]

Gentlemen, good morning, I begin an art expert (while studying at university). I want to talk to you on an art dealership. Here I have, for example, have a friend, heir to a very serious films (the level of the Tretyakov Gallery). And we want to sell them. Examination is, prevenans clear more or less, no insurance. My further action, advise! Prices now similar pattern superheated. As the market for such antique paintings in Moscow is still mostly illegal, then how not to be deceived ...? To start?

Where to start?

First, search your artist in the database of this website and ask the price.
And then, if possible, provide the name of this community.
Heirs of the level of demand for the paintings are not responding.

Inheritance inheritance - discord. I would start by establishing the history of the origin of things. It may be that the heirs of the paintings still hang out with the years 300-400 is not worth it.

Afraid to make mistakes, as little opyta.Zhdu any advice.
Under the "illegal" I meant that our beloved Moscow, such works are sold "his people", not at auctions, galleries ...

Issues are the following points:
- It is correct to shine now that level in the environment "dealer", while offering them more room?

- Whether the practice of contracting with the owner of the picture and what percentage of "agency" fees realized from the canvas. (natural person has the right to engage in entrepreneurial activity) are the options? Tell me please)

It is worth it "Peredvizhnik" if you had this in mind) Painting "clean" on the wall for nearly 70 years is hanging.

Give just your opinion.
In general, "light" is not necessary. Once you learn in academic, you can get an idea about the price, vostrebovatelnosti, rarity in the market of works of this artist (-ing?).
Then you can already submit to whom and where to offer a picture (s?).
Ideal-to find a finite pokupatelya-kollektsionera/sobiratelya.
You, as a student-future date to art, such a task on the shoulder, even with their teachers can learn it easily.
You, I understand you want to get mediation%of the transaction? Laudable and legitimate desire.
And this makes it possible for you have a question-how to formalize the agreement with the owner of the paintings on this%? I do not know, frankly, I do not have such experience. And without a contract you are afraid that you will deceive the owner after the transaction?
There are options, but I was not very convenient to you to give such advice. Work out the options. Until receipt of their legitimate%when the buyer during the transaction, such a practice exists.
Much can still write, give it a try to spin the situation head-You better know the source data.

Firebird, I advise:
- Look at the sale on this site
- Formulate a desired price items
- To propose a thing, armed provinansom (written on the photos) and expertise (you said that it is) more serious antique dealers or galleries
-continue to identify - who will offer more and more people call confidence
Usually things agree with the owner of 10-20%with the sale or negotiate with the buyer or dealer for the same interest, or half the profits.

Thank you, that is, look, speak more specifically. Price is 700-900 $ 000 (before the crisis). Her boss had tried to sell, we will not go into details of how. If customers will look for Gallery, to work seriously, so to speak, and my business is only to act as a broker from the buyer, the higher amount will ona.Kto and why I actually .... And from such amounts of 10-20%is too high money, or about? "Yes, and the owner hang himself so much to pay.

You see, my first law degree, so ask the logical question of how to arrange relationships with galleries and with the buyer, or are all here on parole? For example, here in the real estate market suschestvuet lot of intermediaries, comes to the first hand (bypassing the other parties to the transaction) and the like, you know what I'm talking about the dishonesty of the whole))) as a hedge? In general, trust but proveryay.A do something about, I earn less than the whole think is interesting just to do it, be professional, honest and experienced))) instead of "runner" ...
