Fantastic advice @beiart! Being a young artist myself and constantly looking for good gallery representation this post is gold! Thank you again, followed! 😊
Thank you; this is exactly the advice I needed actually. I am a resident at a gallery, but I want to expand to other galleries and know little about the art would. Usually the advice I get is to do more group shows. Not bad advice bit it helps to know more;)
That Adrien Cox work is pretty wild ..
I think attending openings regularly and playing ti cool is probably best. If they want you, they will ask eventually .. but it is time consuming. I wonder if galleries have lost some of their power as middle men in the age of Instagram. I make a number of direct sales, but admittedly its great to have a show and having the work hanging together is really important.
Really loving your posts! The Carnivorous Forest is awesome.... nom nom :-) can't wait for what you have in store for us next, thanks for sharing with us!
Hi Jon,
Good to see you here. I think your posts are a great contribution to the quality content here on Steemit.
I follow you for a couple of years now. I guess you were even on my radar already when I still lived in the Netherlands 12 years ago. My real name is Patricia Van Lubeck, maybe you remember me. In the meantime I moved via New Zealand to Maitland, so I'm close by now, whaha.
If I'm in Melbourne I certainly will visit your gallery, because I LOVE your collection.
Great article - this is exactly what I was looking for when I tried to explain to someone why my prices are always the same, whether through a gallery or directly from me. UPVOTED - RESTEEMED - SHARED https://twitter.com/visionaryartcom/status/986561104586428416

Regarding bubble wrap marks on varnish: this is definitely a problem with newer work that has not completely cured. There was a case a few years ago when a painting by Daniel Friedemann (Fuchs) got damaged in transport. The culprit was the museum in this case. He sued and won. A good tip for oil paintings: use wax paper first, then bubble wrap. Wax paper might be hard to find in retail (artists supply stores have not caught on to this yet, but there are wholesale sources found if you google; oil paper would also be a search term).
Also, a frame can be covered with a rigid support to keep the packing material from contacting the painting. I pack my framed paintings front against front with a sheet between (plywood is maybe too heavy, but thick corrugated cardboard (triple ply), honeycomb plate or thick foam insulation board would serve the purpose without adding excessive weight).

Thank you so much for that link. I love his stuff!! Reminds me like a twist of Alice In Wonderland!

Try, try, try again... it took J.K. Rowling something like 100+ rejections before a publisher took a gamble on Harry Potter.
