What do you mean by that? Specifically, on what you live artist? You redeemed? Or an artist waiting for the sale? How does podpolschina? In reality, of course, your friends will buy from the shop. But many people are not familiar with the artist and even to go to him, then I have question about safety. How to deal with "unknown person", banditry has not been canceled ... complete and fraudsters. Many do not agree to let strangers in the studio ...

In working with the artist to various options. I already wrote that in the contractual obligations Gallery is responsible for selling a certain amount of work (that the artist did not think about daily bread). I understand that a millionaire in this case be difficult, but .... To each his own. I'm not a magician, and not an oligarch, and can not offer what I can do ... And this was producing more selection of works (do not take anything written by the artist). But I do my job as I understand it. No flaws. Certainly there are conflicts. But that is life ... and creativity, where no conflict (even with itself) - do nothing. With those who have already attained perfection (as think of themselves) - we are not on the road. I think if artists will be among five people who have similar views, if we grow, each with their profession, and together zavoemyvat market (some time), then do something dobemsya. At the same time trying to invite the cooperation galleries in other regions (countries) who have similar views ...
As for the admission of strangers to the studio, then do not let. If the artist is working with the gallery (and it is working like it), then all the questions for the artist must deal with it. Case of the artist - to create. Case Gallery - create conditions so that no one in that it did not interfere with ... I understand that this idealistic picture. But this we must strive to ...

How does podpolschina

Forgot podpolschinu ... Podpolschina from the gallery - it is high interest rates on commission work. He dolzhet match arrangements and market demand. Often, it overestimates the gallery with the hope to get more profit (in secret from the artist). In fact, receives more problems in the relationship with the artists. From the artist - paintings from the workshop at reduced prices (which I have already written). Leads to a collapse of the market on this artist (somewhere in a year).

For example using the fact that it is difficult to control the sale, conceal about the artist and pay a price much lower than the agreement.

Paul! In fact, the sale of control very easily, and the price is very difficult to hide. Most visit the gallery, which is the collaboration (if of course there is). If your gallery in America, as a rule (if it is not underground), where prices are set on the site and are publicly available. In my experience, the American galleries work on a 50x50 (45x55 happened yet). And when selling you should get your percentage. True, there rogues enough. And if you do not have a trusted person who can control the process - there are different possible "dance steps" in the performance gallery.

Absolyutno agree! I know many artists that even friends do not sell the paintings, and not because they are restrained by the terms of the contract, and therefore, they believe that everyone should do their work.

vrusinov1,
Dear, Mr. Rusinov! Do not think of you so close to the heart of the opinion of some of competitors forum. You're an artist, you do what you can do it, what is your soul and made his business a great success. Laugh at ill-wishers and ... Be creative. Good luck to you!

Semen Semenovich, but agree that in your scheme, it is difficult to imagine a collaboration with gallery artists such as Kandinsky and Picasso. Every day, the master produces 1.2 work, they are expensive. Gallery so many can not sell and can not buy. In addition, many of Picasso's key works not to sell t e would not allow the gallery to take and sell better.
IMHO, your scheme is suitable for low-cost artists who produce a small amount of work a year and agree on many things.
For demanding author who wrote copiously wants guaranteed income, wants publicity and presentation, wherever necessary, at auctions worldwide, in museums, participation in exhibitions leading curators need other schemes.
I was glad to hear about the pattern of sales of Picasso, he was a trusted agent, one-biographer Sabartes through whom he communicated with the world, were his wife, were the curators, and buyers were, but standing there, on a contract? how and who was engaged in its affairs? I understand that he communicated with the world is limited, said that without a full retreat, he can not work.

with the dealer.

Paul! We're all still talking about the relationship of the artist with the gallery. The concept of a trader greatly narrows the scope of what should be dealt galereist. It is still more characteristic of a street hawker, peddler, etc.
It certainly does not degrade, but slightly simplifies the presentation of the completeness of gallery work.
