A practical guide for artists on working with art advisors, including pricing, payment terms, delivery, image rights, contracts, client discretion, approaching advisors directly, and bonus advice on auction houses and private sales.
Includes bonus guidance on auction houses, underbidders, private sales teams, and how secondary-market visibility can support future sales and art-fair positioning.
Who is this for?
This guide is for artists who are beginning to deal with art advisors directly, whether through a first enquiry, a proposed sale, a commission conversation, or a more ongoing relationship around collectors and private clients. It is especially useful for artists who want to understand what an art advisor actually does, how to protect themselves in the early stages of a sale, and how to handle pricing, image use, contracts, delivery, aftercare, client discretion, and follow-up professionally.
It is also for artists who want to approach advisors themselves in a more informed way, and for artists who are starting to think more seriously about auction houses, private sales teams, and the role of the secondary market in building long-term visibility.
