Useful but don't make this your only resource Heather Leigh This book is a useful resource because of its simplicity. It's easy to flip back and forth to find templates for things like consignment agreements and the like. I would agree with another reviewer, however, that the book is biased having been written by young gallerists working in New York for only the past decade or so.It offers a picture of the way galleries on the East Coast function at the moment. This is evident in t. Very Practical, but Could Benefit from a Revised Design The authors did a great job in providing insights and guidelines for the visual artist who wants to approach the business side of things. After conferring with a handful of MFA friends, they've said that some of these things are not significantly covered in grad school.I fully agree with several other Amazon reviewers about the graphics / layout of the entire book.

It didn't surprise me -- I've seen no better resource on the market I teach a professional practices course in a BFA program at a State University in Pennsylvania; for several years I've made this book required reading for my professional practices students.

Shamim Momin from the Whitney Museum and Peter Eleey of the Walker Art Center talk about how they meet new artists and visit their studios, and Seattle gallerist James Harris underscores the importance artists' websites have when he looks for new work to show." -- College Art Association News"even those who have no interest in the art world may find Art/Work of use.

Their instructions on how to pack objects for example, are so thorough, only the most dexterously challenged will find difficulty executing them.
Find Out What They Didn't Teach You in Art School The most comprehensive guide of its kind, Art/Work gives artists of every level the tools they need to make it in an art world so competitive one dealer likens it to "The Sopranos, except nobody gets killed." Whether you're an art school grad looking for a gallery, a mid-career artist managing a busy studio, or someone just thinking about becoming a professional artist, this indispensable resource will help you build your career and protect yourself along the way. The authors also talked to a host of artists about their careers and the lessons they've learned navigating the art world. You have to do it all yourself, at least until you find gallery representation -- and even then, there are important business and legal issues you need to understand to stay in control of your career and ensure you're being treated fairly. In addition to drawing on their own experiences, Bhandari and Melber interviewed nearly one hundred curators, dealers, and other arts professionals, in cities across the country, about what they expect from and look for in artists. The book is full of their entertaining anecdotes and candid advice. No matter what kind of artist you are -- or want to be -- this book will help you. Heather Darcy Bhandari, a gallery director, and
