gallery representations

Gallery representations refer to the formal agreements where an art gallery acts as the artist’s agent, promoting and selling their work. The gallery usually showcases the artist’s pieces, attracts potential buyers, and handles transactions. In return, the gallery earns a commission on sales. This relationship helps artists reach broader audiences and gain credibility, while galleries benefit from exclusive access to new artwork. Essentially, a gallery representation is a professional partnership that supports an artist’s career development through visibility and sales management.
