RE: Tips for Artists: How to get your work discovered by and shown in a gallery
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.

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).
