See dealer /artist in the eyes. This should be enough.

A good and wise advice. Wholly agree.
Those who advocate the same contract, ask the question: you have a contract - commission or agency or creative order? Names of legal do not know exactly, but I can describe the essence for orientation:
On the first jobber (dealer) takes the work on the implementation and of the sale price (fixed or not) takes a percentage specified in the contract. On the second - can claim to have not created the work, but only to the extent vygovorennom in the contract (for example, to create 10 works of art during the year).
All other forms of contracts (such as "exclusives") have no legal force, and all. Can you throw them. If not right - lawyers Correct.
Shl Ie I want to say that the contract you do not defend. It only seems that the gallery owner, the king and God, and watch legally - quite the contrary. The artist has 100 loopholes to jump off. There are only 2 options - buy the first or agree on the souls.

artcol,
Eh, I would be your ability to: look in the eye - and enough. I, unfortunately, does not work, why not just suffer
As for contracts - we do nothing invented, were taken from the legal bases. And, of course, you're right that this crook will bypass any contract. But normal people recorded on paper and voluntarily accepted by them all the same conditions greatly oblige.

AlexanderG, let OBHSSskih Understanding the terms have changed in the prism of modern times in Russia. Above given real transcription term "personal gain. In today Rossiyskom understanding.

Owned and runs almost all of Russia. and work will be a long time.
By the way, here in brief terms of one of Picasso's early contracts. The dealer pays the artist a year ezhemesyano agreed amount, pays rent workshop and materials. All work performed by the artist during this period (except for works for the theater), become the property dealer. And here is one of the earliest contracts Matisse. The dealer has the first right to purchase fiksirovnnoy price new works by the artist. Size X - the price of Y, Size Z - For the price, etc. Anything not sold dealer work, the artist has the right to sell independently.
And, note, no talking about directories, exhibitions, publications, promotion, promotion, etc.
Remember here somewhere comparing pictures and tomatoes?
But the seller does not make tomato producers of tomatoes to share with them the risks. Pay part of the rent for commercial space, transportation, storage, dissipation and shrinkage, bribes and so on? Or am I wrong? The businessman bought the product, how and where it will sell - it is his business. If he tomatoes rotted on the road or stolen - who's to blame?
Once we have everything - good, why the picture should be otherwise? Or is it some special product?

iosif: However, no exclusives, I just will not engage in a serious promotion of the artist - why spend your own money on someone else's business?

Why "stranger"? The artist can refuse to cooperate with you only if it will be offered better terms. But first must find that "someone" who will offer them. Do this first, and the artist of you will not go anywhere.

I can not agree. Not ready for daily auctions.
While everyone has his own way. There is no right and wrong. Just had my own terms, and I work with those they arrange.

Joseph, of course, need to work as convenient. No dogmas. Just contract calms you and me, for example - something else

DSF, iosif,
In Russia, the artist refuses to "dealer" services due to widespread nesnostnosti proposed conditions and their absurdity.
I know thin, now, he works for exclusives with the United States.
Exemplary conditions are as follows: The dealer arranges exhibitions, working closely with clients, print catalogs and so on ...
The main income of the company and selling posters with the author. signatures.
The artist makes a "plan" signs are commodities. And no org. activities.
The condition is not change the style. Written on given themes.
As a result, the dealer does deserve a 80%income from sales. But eti20%artist is not very small. He pleased.
ERROR our dealers-I do paintings for sale "other Business. A RECEIVE INTEREST-ONLY is humiliating affair.
Therefore, dealers are not working with clients. This provokes an artist on the path Dealer.
Not true in the small-and large wrong.
Bylaby correct and noble work with clients, it would be trust. Here you can and talk about exclusives.

[iosif]

Art_Lyss,
absolutely normal scheme. No ambiguity. Although I prefer not to dictate anything in the works.

[artcol]

Regarding exclusives ...
Typically the artist already have a circle of clients, friends and admirers. After all, before the dealer-eksklyuzivschika and subsequent recognition and outreach to the general public it something someone was selling what once lived? And all these sales-ratio is often very important for an artist - as the saying is "an old friend - better than new two" and "road spoon for dinner. And then on you - the dealer is wedged them. How about this? Therefore exclusive - it is only for business relations.
