for-profit galleries
For-profit galleries are businesses that sell artwork and aim to make a profit. They operate as commercial entities, unlike nonprofit museums or organizations. These galleries curate and exhibit art to attract buyers and generate revenue through sales, often representing specific artists or styles. Their primary goal is financial gain, which can influence the selection and presentation of artworks to appeal to collectors and investors. While they contribute to the art market, they also play a role in promoting artists and connecting buyers with art, functioning within a business model focused on profitability.
