Name (name) Art Galleries - the best way how not to i.t.d

[iside]

Good day, everybody!

It so happened that one of my friends (not close friend) has decided to retrain from the collector to the art dealer and decided to open their gallery.

We were talking about this topic several times already and I think he trusts more than others. With the business plan I am aware of everything seems right, but one detail from the outset confuses me the most - is the name he chose. Word of Arabic, so there is no special meaning to write it here, I'll write about the essence: it is an antique word, literary.

And the gallery will represent contemporary art >

The first time he heard the name I winced, because I already have two institutions with the same prefix (a museum and a gallery), climbed to the Internet, but it turns out has a gallery with the same exact name in the neighboring country, what was on the art I do not know that k. site was not, in addition with the same title some have pharmacies, fast food, etc. >

I decided to ask the opinion of its Arabic-speaking friends - still wrinkle his nose and asking, and that there rugs or antique utensils.

In general, the name of a full flight, despite the fact that the place of cool, but I feel that the name of all the derail.

Tried to explain to him - leaned: I like it. I say it's a business, here the other principles, some names you can easily roll out, but when the image and name do not fit together - it's bad.

If anyone has any ideas on this subject, I'll be glad to learn, especially if someone were cases that changed the name. It would be interesting to know what titles of foreign galleries like the forum users, so out of pure curiosity.

Thank you.

And rightly so , that insist on changing the name if the desire to serious and he really intends to engage in lifelong art business, and not just at the time of the sale of the collection. In the second case is fine anyone, but of course it is desirable not strongly replicated , and the first is better to give his name . In the end, a successful picture one way or another all are constructed on the individual and the name of its owner .

[artart]

he decided to open or already open ?
the title should be "similar " to your product .
and the place you say " cool " " it is already there ? function ?
but here is the tricky time - it must be like him . because it gives the master drive and the momentum of the incoming . hence there are successful cases of " code " understandable two of them ) )
change the name during the period of life is not necessary. it is necessary to know and understand at once .

if you want a serious

Judging by their conversation, yes. Wants to make the gallery's most famous and most successful in this country. Together, many factors - the chances of it good. He was not even embarrassed by what I said that it will take probably 3-5 years of daily work and thus go to zero or even negative. But on the other hand, people here are so hot and quickly light up the idea, as well as hard work (Phys. or intel.) Are not accustomed to, then at least of the difficulties may pass. So that the words and intentions can not be trusted, unfortunately.

Yes it has nice-sounding name and I told him already about it said, but he waved his arms, said he does not like it when the name of the business name. Again in this region is so common that really corny can turn out.

, he decided to open or already open?

This is a very interesting question >
Already open, but listen to how this happened.
About a year ago, he fired up with this idea, (said wife) and immediately chose the place. Made repairs, and brought part of his collection and all. Gallery was closed (regularly pays rent) until he was ripe for the next phase - opening. I met him just before the opening that is only a month ago. The decision to open was made spontaneously, like "well okay, next week will open the gallery, call the photographers, journalists, crowd, and print catalog. But despite this short duration of the event turned out gorgeous, albeit in a circle of friends (although they are all pretty well-known figures, and therefore dispersed in all newspapers)

but there is such a tricky time, it must be like him. because it gives the master drive and the momentum of the incoming .... change the name during the period of life is not necessary. it is necessary to know and understand at once.

In fact of the matter is that the name he likes, but he does not understand the absurdity of it, as I understand. With that, until I saw this one emotion, passion, of course it is needed, but the business is better to rely on others. On his opinion can not be relied, it tastes good, he sometimes buys something interesting with Christie's and Sotheby's, with his complete lack of knowledge about how all this works artmir. For me it's a little surprising, but maybe this is normal. And in a conversation through different times, we always come back to the fact that, yes, he intends to turn the gallery into a business, not just to show what he has in the collection, he intends to seek a new, to participate in Intl. processes, etc.

Therefore, counting on such a scale would have just changed, though painful to be, but not yet fatally.

DOES THE EVENT HAVE to go public. THEN LEAVE NOW as it is.

And maybe this absurdity SUCH DASH his business himself, his goods, his STYLE)) I KNOW THE GALLERIES, when the name understood only by the OWNER, BUT IT becomes an individual

If that while I am in this I see some emotion, passion, of course it is needed, but business is better to rely on others. .

 > "AS IS IN THE WORKS. Can you think of picture for all the law of demand. Make it and do not sell. Because this unnecessary. >

Сообщение от iside

In his opinion can not be relied upon, he has good taste, he occasionally buys something interesting with Christie's and Sotheby's, with his complete lack of knowledge about how all this works artmir ..

WELL IF NOT BUY KNOWLEDGE, maybe he is gifted flair. WITH TIME ADD EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE AND ALL WILL BE.

I was as if NO STORIES "Every time a new sheet. But decides to master.

You asked in the topic for a remarkable thing: "how not to."

I alone thought about it and know we should not-trivial.
banal simply sink.
the more that is modern art

[iside]

artart, yes, feeling he had no doubt there, but this collector's instinct, not a dealer - for me it is just fundamentally different things.

it must be like him. because it gives the master drive and the momentum of the incoming

Сообщение от artart

I thought separately about this and know we should not-trivial. banal simply sink. the more that is modern art

That's the whole catch. What he likes is trite:

because there are already two schools with the same prefix (a museum and a gallery), climbed to the Internet, but it turns out has a gallery with the same exact name in the neighboring country, what was on the art I do not know as site was not, in addition with the same title some have pharmacies, fast food, etc.

He argues from a position, so what's already there, I'll have another, but no, go and prove that the other, so even explain why that name of this range. Therefore, be that as it may, but probably will have to change. My view on this point about how a doctor, yes, it hurts, but do need for future benefits. Oh, sorry AleksandraG not, then it was just the doctor and gallery owner in one bottle >

[Santa]

iside, it seems to me artart to you in such detail and basically said (s ) .

but will probably change .

And the owner agrees to change ?
In your comments, I have not seen .

Сообщение от iside

Ah , sorry AleksandraG no , he is just was and a physician and a gallery owner in one bottle

And why was that? something happened ?

I have very close friends , quite a decent gallery owners who changed their names , the reasons were different .
The quality is not changed , tried and tested customers have not gone ..)), most importantly , perhaps ) !

It's not that he now agrees or not , if I give a sufficiently strong case , then surely succeed . He himself asked me to help him advice .
