How to unleash the artist

[Seriy]

Paul, a look at the works of Van Gogh.
For example, a couple of works more than a meter.

Hello, dear participants of the forum!
Recently found a site. I'm sitting, I read a forum to look into the question, what should /should not undertake to promote himself as an artist and create a more or less comfortable conditions for the existence and development in the profession. In my opinion, the artist would have been happy just to work and to ignore this side of life. But, unfortunately, does not go, so you want-not want to - take over investigations. I live and work in Belarus, where the art market in its infancy, to be exact - it simply net.Svobodny artist, in my experience, can survive either by line method, or through cooperation with Western galleries. This cooperation, for various reasons, not quite full. It is therefore interesting to study at the Art Moscow, which is much closer. But it is not easy for us. Knowledge little self-promotion techniques - intuitive.

There are a lot of information for thought.

Write much about that except for the paintings of the artist should be an interesting auction and exhibition history. Easy to say ... But!
There was an issue - and what algorithm to action to elect an artist to get on auktsiony.Interesuyut Moscow, because it close. And can an artist do on their own initiative to get them. Is it expensive?

Also curious, what exhibition history is interesting. And how do you think an artist should create such a story. (In my opinion, it's just a matter of chance, or did their own investments. Moreover, in Europe deshevle.Ili I am wrong)

I would be grateful if someone would express their opinion.

Hudozhni - not a carpenter, his life is not subject to the standards.

Everybody has their own unique method of selling paintings.

Well, if you so much interested in the popular and proven methods, that is the one of the methods:
paint a realistic picture with the image of a standard set (forest, river, church). and sell it in Moscow on the waterfront near the Central House of Artists or in Minsk near the Palace of Culture Lukashenko (forgot the official name of this ambitious POSTOICO).

Thank you for your answer, but you misunderstood me. I was fifteen years old, as up to date, what I write. Naturally, and sales techniques also exist. But I think it is normal to learn more and something to review, if possible.
I wondered whether the artist themselves in some way to put their pictures on the auction.
Subject devoted to "promotion of the artist." Do not blindly, but - professionally, as I understand it! Here, many expressed the view that the art dealer or someone like that the artist is required. But on the other hand wrote that behind the artist must be auction Here's my story and interested in the meaning of this phrase and a way to try! (Clearly not uvseh turns out) to create such a story.
I think I will forgive my ignorance and say anything, if all but I know how it is done .

if it runs into the auction, the backstage agreement with the owner of the auction that the auction of the product will be purchased, to play the show called imitation Trade and all vporyadke. The auction organizer will receive their percentage of the sale, you auction history.

Here for example is such a method in Sotheby's in 2009 got pictures of modern Ukrainian artists and there were acquired customers who wished to remain unknown.

You of course at Sotheby's did not immediately take, but after a few steps of auctions and it is possible.

The main thing to find the source of funding for this show under the name auction history

[Marta]

Hard. But, fortunately, lack of other ideas, in addition to playing shows. Maybe a naive question. But it boiled down to a very simple - whether the modern artist to offer their paintings for auction and get a waiver or consent, or is in principle impossible. There you have Sovkom i.t.p. Sotheby's is not, obviously.

So to check this on your experience, and then tell me that you came out of it ...

By the way, interesting to see what you offer ...

Hello Marta, methods of promotion at all different, and few people want to share the accumulated experience of labor and then as it also depends on the intelligence of the artist is, intellect, there is a success. But there are general, in my opinion, the rules:
Looking through the internet close to your style galleries and Pitch portfolio
Exhibit their work wherever possible
 
How Nikas-boy, half deals with his promotions, and the rest writes or is engaged in creative ",,,, same example Salvador Dali --- public relations, public relations and a lot of movement and work.

[Marta]

Possible, and try. Over the demand did not hit in the nose. Now I am in the process of creating a series of works for any new attempts.
Not sorted out yet as there show their creativity, but some of my paintings exhibited at
http://www.art-ra.com
There are four of the artist.
Year of work is not updated. Life goes on, something changed, it is hoped that the better. But you can get a general idea. Critics do not fear, and even love.

Sovkom when one let's say a good artist would like to invite them to his work, he was told that your painting is very suitable to us, but it's something you would have been 80 years old, but the most ideal option, something you would not be alive. In Gelos, is not selected for professional people, what they bring, and even qualitative thing ,50-ies, can not hesitate to evaluate, in 700r. That's all auctions in Moscow. Вобще long time to open the auction in Moscow on contemporary artists, they actually no, to put on stream each day for several auctions, and not to deny almost anyone, let buyers and appreciate this painting, because buying is all this nonsense in the galleries, paying good money, why not do it on auction sites.
