A short course of art agent for "teapot"

[Татьяна Власова]

Good afternoon.
A proposal by the French artist: to represent its interests in Russia. He wants to exhibit and sell their work in galleries in Russian .
I come to art -to-business relationships have not, I have a question to him was of another kind ( the use of reproductions of his paintings for the cover designs of books, because our company is a manufacturer of paper stationery products).
Dear forum members ! Can you briefly explain the essence of interaction between artist, gallery owner and an agent ? How does this happen ? The rights, duties , financial relations , etc. ..
Also interested in hands-on experience on either side of the chain.
Thank you in advance for any information.

Hopefully, if the survey will be labeled " other reasons" - will be more in the thread to explain what , exactly? ))

Vivian, thanks.
Like, "walked" on the theme, and this is not seen.
Studied.

Vivian, a branch is long, but little information in it . And about the relationship between agent -gallery - nothing found .
The complexity of the situation can see that the artist -agent relationship must be built " in French ," a scheme of agent -gallery - " in Russian ." About the relationship until the customs agent , and to think I'm afraid ))
For example, a specific question : if I give five paintings in Russia, and I want to give them to the gallery for sale , then I can act as a " physicist" or I will have to be " Yura ", even if unincorporated business ?

Most importantly - how to draw in customs.
And as they take back when you do not sell.

"Person" in this case, I do not see what is important.
Delivered as a physical and passed.


Is this artist is so valuable, that is work, obviously not on your profile?

[Татьяна Власова]

Fed, the value of his work will determine the time))
I am interested in this area . I am 15 years old in a business , you want some change. I see an opportunity to combine this activity with the main work .
How to remove : also , perhaps, is the best option, some tried and tested scheme? I'm not the first time received such an offer? )

Import - free in Russia , the export from Russia is made without any problems on Bolshaya Morskaya ( St. Petersburg).
To get started, you probably need only agree with the artist on mutual and see how things will go . If successful, and further legal action .

Now it's art business , as to buy rights to use works (postcards , posters , etc.), or order a special artist , a contract order.

K-Maler, thanks for the reply.
On the import of free - whether I understand that this is an expert in the evaluation as a KC ? Are all the pictures painted on canvas with oil by hand (sorry , if something is not formulated ))) - is KC ? Or some other criterion is used ?
And again, I must be the owner of these paintings , if I a private person? Or you can say that I enter I sent a picture in order to sell them here ? Then I have to somehow show their income? Strictly connected with this and my question about the physical and legal entity . Who is the owner , and shows how this income ?
By placing fine art on the covers of notebooks - the subject I know well , it's my job : to buy designs for decoration of notebooks ))

Read the topic " Import /Export " there you will find a lot of things about it. Then ask what would still remain unclear .

Of course not. Many answers to your questions are already on the forum. Look at the topic that I have or use the search.

[Татьяна Власова]

Konstantin, I respected the import /export , and something that I specify .
There's basically about the import of pictures for personal use. I will carry for -sale , and the pictures will not be my property while doing so. Perhaps there are nuances. I'm asking about whether one should declare it as a business ( and issue legal entity ) , or you can sell these paintings as fiz.litso (then , in my opinion , they should be my property ).
With regard to the issues discussed on the forum - many years of experience in business taught me to ask once more , and better - about his own situation. Draw conclusions from the discussions of others - is unsafe. Perhaps the difference in ma -a- aa- Lenkov nuance , which then result in high costs.
You are to me , as an administrator , make comments, or advise ?))))
