Everything Artists Should Know About Gallery Representation

[@cosmeherrera]

Amazing video. Really informative. I don’t know why it doesn’t have millions of views

Really helpful and cogent advice, thank you.

It's so funny seeing how incompetent we all were with Zoom early on. 😂

I'm seeing this in 2023 and have to add my 4 cents: A number 1 no-no, especially for "young"/new/emerging artists, is OVER pricing your work. As an independent curator and former gallerist is it is always annoying (and telling) is an artist who thinks they can price their work at the same rates as A list established artists (ie $10,000 or $50,000). This is also especially true of poorly executed work or work of inferior materials... Do not put the price of your artwork on your website. Works exhibited in commercial galleries should not have the prices on the wall labels. A gallery copy price sheet or direct inquiries to the gallerist or curator are best. Artists can also get some legal help from non-profit legal services for artists such as Texas Accountants and Lawyers for the Arts (TALA). Most of these legal arts services charge very nominal fees on a sliding scale based on income. They'll even hold free public workshops often at local community arts/cultural centers or museums... Just sayin...

It would be wonderful to hear a more elaborate version of the “view from the other side of barricades” on gallery representation. Would you like to share about your experience in a video?

Whose work is the American flag with the bag?

[@leststoner]

Is gallery representation necessary?

[@starveartist]

They said it isn't if you have built a successful practice on your own...like how people do through social media nowadays
