How does one work between an artist and an art dealer?

Question: How does one work between an artist and an art dealer!?

I know a fantastic artist who has no motivation to take her paintings to dealers and see if she can get a display!. So I've decided to use some of my connections to get her art in a gallery!.

If I get her some sales, what is the appropriate percentage!? What can I expect the art dealer with the gallery to take!? How do you set a price!? Any other tips!?

Thanks!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Whatever you do get an understanding in writing before anything transpires!. Then there aren't any hurt feelings!. Figure galleries could charge up to 50% of selling price!. If you are her agent, what do you need!? 10%!? 20%!? 25% !?%

So if the artist wants $100, the gallery gets 50% (selling price will be $200) ,then you want 25% of $100, the artist is going to end up with $75!.

Good luck!

judge her work they would find things that non
