Pertinent to artists as well as gallerists.By Osceola Z RefetoffWhile "Selling Contemporary Art" was written to help gallerists navigate the quickly-evolving art landscape in this era of art fairs and Instagram sales; its not a bad idea for artists themselves to have a better understanding of the challenges of selling their work in the current environment. Personally; I found the book informative; easy to read; and very pertinent to my self-education. #LeoCastelliModel3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Artists read this!By CustomerThis is a great read and very helpful to understand the current market and how it reflects everyone including the artist. Although it is not written for artists one can understand how the market reflects mid level decisions and how they do effect an artists career. This book certainly defines whats happening out there in the big wild world of Contemporary Art in a range that is digestible.1 of 3 people found the following review helpful.
