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? ))
