How to sell the painting at foreign auctions?

[Nik]

Included with the previous similar topic ( "How to buy at foreign auctions?"), a second similar question, it begs itself.

How to sell the painting at foreign auctions? Anyone wishing I could do this? What actions need to take this? What are the complexities, subtleties, pitfalls can be encountered with this? Experienced people, answer.

Where more profitable to sell now: at foreign auctions, the domestic auction or through any gallery here in Russia?

[Meister]

Sell now at foreign auctions can be anyone if he can withdraw its course, but this question was moved to the theme of "import-export". omitting this probably the most difficult moment, the picture is brought to auction, where the expert committee evaluates its authenticity and value. If it coincides with your assessment, then the picture is taken by the auction house, and you signed the agreement ... It is in general, I think there more knowledgeable people on this subject yet unsubscribe ...

but where more profitable to sell, I'll answer. It seems to me, more reliable through gallery ... because of the sale of the western auction linked with the attendant costs of transportation, insurance. And if she was not sold, then it is back to take you? but it still costs ... yes, at auction, it may take more, but. If, again, it does not prodatsya, you will have to remove it for a year, because the art market does not like things that are not sold at auction. Domestic auctions still fairly narrowly focused, therefore, in my opinion, more reliable, quieter, and certainly easier to sell through the gallery.

Unfortunately, there is still no sensible answer to the question of what painting could or could not be exported and the necessary documents for the export of things abroad.

Is it possible to send beforehand for auction on e-mail a picture (photograph) and preliminary things to know whether they will take it on sale and what estimate: if the real thing? Does this practice?

Over 100 years can not export anything at all. Over 50 years - with the permission of Rosohrankulutry (now Rossvyazokhrankultura) stamped on security paper. Younger than 50 years of normal.

There is a more complex issue: how to sell the painting contemporary artist (or photographer) on the west auction? I perfectly understand that there are primary and secondary market, the auction only resells the work, but where to begin something?: shy: can anyone have had such an experience?

No, the auction is not only resells the work.

Auction Houses distinction between primary and secondary markets do not comply and as a secondary, and their staff regularly refer to the artists and their successors with a request to give them work, so you can simply apply to the auction house and offer a picture that you want to sell.
Of course, guarantees that the work will be accepted, no, but why not try?

That is precisely the point that this path has already been tested. The auctioneer refused to take the work of artists who have not participated in international exhibitions and have not received wide resonance. You're right, exceptions are made, and work directly on the artists sometimes sold, but it is only in the case of well-known authors.

how to be an artist who sells his relatively good works in private collections of its high quality, go to "enslave" under the terms of the gallery does not want to, but wants to promote their own work through the auction?

There has to choose. I think that without a gallery artist impossible to build a real career - you can regret it, you can enjoy this, but it is so. It depends on your ambitions, if you're comfortable selling work in a confidential manner, without show, without participation in various prestigious events - Your right, but it will take time before the auction houses to hear about you and want to have with you business. And you can find an honest and professional gallerist (and do not mind me, these are, I'll know some of them), which will deal with your promotion is probably more professional than you do. Do not forget that for many important events are not invited to the artists, but only gallery.

Regarding the bondage I yuy said that compared with European ones, where the rate is not below 50%, and especially the U.S. (many take up to 80%) of the terms of the proportion of gallery owner is quite acceptable to talk about slavery is not necessary.
 
And finally, name even one of the artist, who managed to push myself without gallery or agent? This is a mythical beast, the nature of such does not exist: p
But I wish you good luck in any case.

like those, I'll know some of them

but from this moment more in detail please?))

totally agree with you - a professional gallery owner who promotes young artists and Photographers (and in this case I am referring to the latter) that knows the laws, so to speak, a business - as deystsovat, which works to guide, to whom should they give to whom a higher price sell, etc. that's just my stereotype: artful gallery owners, who smelled a profit and are prepared to invest, shit out of candy will make and sell it so that more buyers will be licking their lips in spite of the dray prices, and the artist will be able to unwind, but the artist himself will get a penny, and fair gallery owners are working together with the artist and for the sake of art, but are known only to a narrow range, and prices for them are secondary. so, historically, razve not?
