First steps. Questions to the knowledgeable.

all, hello!

Just want to note that this is not an advertising theme, just need some help.
Behind it and turn right here, to those who can help.

I myself have a mediocre to art related, but my other half - the direct, she was an artist-painter: a young, capable and, I think, the perspective. But not about this ...

I looked at their studies at the Academy of Arts and understand that these people - the future of our culture, like as. Decided to give them some help. The idea to do an online gallery that focuses on foreign buyers.

Made "on his knees" site Art Gallery YY, where he started to place the work of artists (both students and some of the Artists' Union).

And here began to understand the complexity and wonder, and a commercial sense at all to have my idea? ...
Started to read here in the forum and in other places of the value of artists, works and methods ...
Came even more confusion.

here and ask to help with advice, experience, knowledge of those who respond.

What should be my first steps to monetize online gallery? Is it possible?

Is there any sense in modern times in this idea?

At least I found a hobby, I was fascinated by the process, but it would somehow investments, though not large, repelling and reach self-sufficiency.

Thank you in advance for any information.

Sincerely,
Yuri.

Apparently, some strange work of contemporary artists, galleries or artificially hyped collectors exclusively for profit, will be sold for hundreds of dollars, while a similar and even much better by unknown artists will be sold for millions, but in the meantime count of hungry people will start to fall ...

Too late, that written with a pen ... and so on .

Now to the point: the request to help you formulate too blurry. well as help to buy a car. And what ? Bentley or Lada , SUV or a sports car well, etc.
The question how to tackle the art business is much broader than what car to buy. To get started, simply read the forum, then when there will be specific questions - you are welcome. Otherwise the same vague answers.

Thank you! Forum I read, however many messages by topic is , we have a lot of extra reading ( IMHO).
My question is just narrower than HOW TO DO BUSINESS ART , it was : What is , or what the first steps should be to make the owner of a new online art gallery, and if it makes sense in the case of my website. I certainly do not claim to bosnoslovny turnover and very popular - it's too expensive. Yes, and I have a specific niche : the modern Belarusian artists for foreign consumer ...
I think it is quite narrow, or not enough? I will try to describe in more detail the concept.

Thank you!

Prices for paintings are conditional, and is unlikely to be appropriate to create a new gallery and display prices in 5000 - 10,000 euros ...

Plus it might interest a potential collector (possibly) and play on the price ...

If we start from the commercial sends, you have to know that this foreign customer need and artists already meet such requests.
