Cooperation with foreign galleries

[v_r]

In 2001. I had engaged with something like a festival. In Kiev arrived 9 of the Japanese brought a good show, in addition performed the tea ceremony, classes on calligraphy, ikebana, origami, participated in tournaments in shogi and go. To make this event has not failed for almost six months, regularly met with the Cultural Attaché at the Japanese Embassy. As a result, the embassy has helped with translators (Japanese ever ran. One, I physically could not translate all), through letters from the Embassy was to settle all the problems with our government and bureaucrats and is still very much failed to do without the help of the embassy. Their citizens they serve.
In fact, the guarantor advocated the Japanese embassy.
When she went to the international plein-air (Hungary, Poland), was supposedly well. But the organizers put by such conditions that had to think it worth while to go. To give 8 to 12 best work probably too expensive.
From personal exhibitions outside of Ukraine (Switzerland, Russia) was provided because of the absence of solid guarantees.

And the fear of exhibitions in Russia and Ukraine? (Who?)
In Britain, there are many forms of insurance (different, depending on the situation) ..
And vystavkomy always advises that the paintings were insured by the artists.
There is a general form, for the year (worth 100 pounds) can throw off the questionnaire, who are interested ...

For communication, working environment, exhibition. Have no regrets.

And about the insurance issue sick.
Payment can only be achieved if the first day of contact with SK thoroughly prepare for trial. U in me, it took about six months.

Of course to work with foreign countries must be in person, at least initially, to verify the integrity of the partner \\ gallerist, dealer \\ and the price of the painting should be specified in the contract and not less than $ 8000-10000 your price, no less than 5 7rabot then all events can be financially beneficial. In America, fly to $ 10000 at least in Europe, certainly less in any case must be taken into account in all kotrakte advance.
Yes, actually it is the work of gallery owner, but I know Petersburg artist who carries their pictures in tobuse to America for them to established connections, took the roll of the plane and flew, well sold in the United States and lived quietly creativity not zamorachivayas their advance in Russia. Prices of course, not comparable with our grief in half, and the American market.: D

Cooperation with foreign galleries

However paradoxical it may sound, but have to do everything on trust, as well as execute all necessary documents are very troublesome and not always profitable ... For example, for the American galleries enough to sign a contract or partnership agreement, which describe in detail all the nuances. In this case, the gallery there do not want to deal with the authorities and did not go to major violations (an attempt to lower the price in the calculation is not considered ...) While this is all too possible to prescribe in the contract. Typically, those who do not like and do not know how rabrtat honestly - refuses to sign it. It would be nice to have another authorized person on the spot ...

AlexanderG wrote that the art market - the last unregulated market in the world. Apparently he was right.
Emerges the following picture:
1) contract (in the language of the host country) - just to "neponyatok" no, "that recorded the pen ..."
2) personal contact - hmm ..., well of course, but unrealistic. Even in Russia not naezdieshsya, and only for foreign countries - especially
3) an excellent analogue of personal contact are the recommendations
4) Insurance
5) for major projects - gos.instantsii. Frankly, in our - or foot! : D

With cassettes insurance, in Ukraine, of course, you can zastahovat. But who will pay for this insurance, who will bear all costs ... In my memory, nobody has yet been encountered similar problemma with contemporary artists. For "vorovaek" Today all the conditions in the museums of the country In today's artists no one has yet attempted (except for certain cases of stealing of old shops (sorry, Pozhela) masters ...).

With respect to certification of works. An interesting (and correct, from my point of view) the experience was the last antique art salon in Kiev. Manual Ukrainian House (where the salon) has required all galleries to submit certificates from their organizations to the work presented in the Salon. Thereby indicating that the gallery should be responsible for the exhibited paintings. (On this spodviglo robbery several museums and shops of artists and the requirements of relevant authorities, I think) ...

In principle, the reputation and intentions are much more important than any contract, of course.
I have set for ourselves that the contract need not as a sword of Damocles, as well as instructions for interaction. Expensive to litigate. Everyone.

Under the personal contact I had in view of full-time acquaintance. With handshakes, exchange of souvenirs, gifts, etc. : D It would be better with him than without him. Although I do not see any problems, do so and without such a "personal contact".
