The Other Art Fair, London UKI have participated in the TOAF London in 2023 and sold two pieces, which covered the expensive fees and made a very modest profit - above all the fair was important to meet some interesting artists and learn from their professionalism, booths, and art generally. Although I have not came back to another edition - I live in Italy and the costs are very high for me - I know of other abstract painters who...read entire comment and original post

Contemporary Art Curator (Magazine)Art Collectors Prize. It has been an ordeal. An honest mistake of not recognizing the company led me to report a fraudulent charge, which I quickly reviewed and notified my bank and PayPal. However, PayPal did not clear and close the case, though the bank paid the amount. Despite all my clarifications, the magazine sent me threatening emails and told me that they would contact all the organizations, claiming I had committed a scam. I...read entire comment and original post

Zürcher GalleryWhat are gallery owners responsibilities then, please tell us. If selling isn't there responsibility, then why do I need a gallerist? We could all be gallery owners! Just buy or rent a space and rip off artists. Oh wait, that's exactly how vanity galleries work......read entire comment and original post

Pashmin Art Gallery – HamburgStay away from this gallery. They`´re a bunch of fraudsters, run by Nour Nouri. They promise you scccess, rip you off and then you never get it. All the exhibitions venues aren`´t recognized in the art world and bring nothing. Quite the opposite: they`´re just a source of stress. Artists who open their mounths there will be sued. If a work of art is ever sold, the artist never gets it. What Nour Nouri is...read entire comment and original post

Art.Number23Hello, I have just been selected for the next exhibition in Tokyo in 2026 and I came across this discussion. I found another artist who was also selected and I notified him by sending him this thread. Do you have any news of this Constantine and your works? I am going to Tokyo in January/February 2026, I am thinking that it might be good to go in person to notify the gallery of this type...read entire comment and original post

Thierry Goldberg Gallery does not pay his MFA artistsNot a new problem I showed with Ron Segev (& Claire Lematais) in 2006 when they opened their first gallery Sixtyseven in NYC. I had a solo in 2006. They sold 1/3 of the work. Reviewed by Ken Johnson in NYT. I never got a penny from the sales. Years of emails, phone calls, frustration. They told me I was ‘investing in the new space’ (Thierry Goldberg). I wish I had been more aggressive frankly. I...read entire comment and original post

A reader sent this in “Gallery 212, Wynwood, Miami Florida I walked into the gallery last spring to see if they were looking at new artists work. I was told they were but here was the deal. It costs $900 a month to hang work on the walls. But in November and December during Art Basel Basel, the price is $3,200 a month. The gallery is located on the corner of 24th Street and 2nd Avenue. The main drag through Wynwood to all the fairs is Miami Avenue. 2nd Avenue is two long block or four shorter blocks west of…

A reader submitted this, “Sarah Merrick curated a show a couple of years ago (in Newark, New Jersey) in which she did not returned two of my paintings. I have attempted repeatedly to get them back and but she does not respond to my attempts. I have been told by one other participating artist that she did not return his painting as well.” Anyone else?

A reader sent this in, “Lisa Saltman @saltmanastassoicatesinc (on facebook) a supposed art advisor, sold my pictures to the hotel without my permission. She claims that she took a monograph (Surfland) of my work, ripped it apart, matted and framed it and sold it to this client, cheaply she added. This client just happens to be a Hyatt hotel. Whether this act may or may not be a copyright infringement, it is a gross insult and outrage to me and every artist who struggles to make a living from their practice. It is a misrepresentation of my art and how…

A reader said “I received an e-mail from a buyer asking to purchase one of the paintings on my website. He sent me what looked like a cashiers check to pay for the painting and the shipping and asked that I send a payment to the shipper ASAP because he had scheduled a pick up. I went to the bank first to make sure the check was good. After several days of investigating they told me it was fake. In the meantime the buyer was pressuring me to pay the shipper or he’d cancel the sale. I know artists who…

A reader sent this in, please add to this if you have experience here “I’ve been working with many galleries for years and have had amazingly wonderful experiences. Most treat their artists very well. It isn’t easy being a gallery owner with all the expenses and difficulties. Having said that, I would not deal with Canada House Gallery in Banff Alberta, after being treated in a very unfair manner in my opinion. I say this with a heavy heart because I would never say anything bad about a gallery unless I felt that I have been deeply wronged.”

An artist sent this in, any other comments? “Artisan Direct. Never deal with these people, especially Jayson Samuels. He’s an ex con who changed his name because he was convicted of fraud. You pay big time upfront for the exhibition, and the work might not even be displayed. After I asked for my work back, he lied and said he didn’t have it. I had to get a lawyer- the art came back but some pieces were damaged.”
