Becoming an Art Dealer

It is many peoples dream to become a world-famous artist. Unfortunately, it can be extremely difficult to make a living solely from selling your paintings or sculptures. But don’t worry because there are other jobs in the world of art that you can pursue. One possible career option is to become an art dealer.

An art dealer works on behalf of artists to help them sell works to museums and galleries around the world. To be successful at this profession, it requires a well-rounded skill set. For starters, it helps a lot if you love art and are knowledgeable about art history. Having business skills will also be quite useful, as it will be necessary to negotiate with buyers, and help the artists you represent market their work. If becoming an art dealer sounds appealing, there are several steps which you can follow. Although you may have a love for a wide range of styles, you should start by choosing one category to focus on. Buyers usually prefer to deal with a specialist in a particular area than someone who is a jack of all trades. When selecting your focus, choose an area that you are passionate about instead of something that seems lucrative. Art trends come and go, so there is no use trying to predict what is hot. These trends will certainly change over the course of your career.

Once you selected an area to focus on, start to contact some museums, galleries, and other companies in the art world and send them your resume. The majority of art dealers begin their careers working as interns for these kinds of companies. Although these interns may be paid little, or in some cases nothing at all, the experience of learning how art businesses work will certainly serve you down the road.

It pays to be flexible in the beginning, as the most important thing is to get your foot in the door. Museums and galleries may offer you several positions including a sales assistant or a junior art consultant. Whichever job you accept, be sure to learn it well and give it your best. In addition to your responsibilities, make sure your start to network with others in your industry. As your knowledge and contacts begin to grow, more opportunities will be open to you.

What does the passage suggest someone should have if they want to become an art dealer?

A. A good attitude and a lot of money

B. Excellent painting and drawing skills

C. A love for art and a few business skills

D. A lot of knowledge about art history and a college degree

By signing the work in pencil, an artist could guarantee and personalize each print: các nhà sưu tầm tranh sẽ đánh giá cao bức tranh hơn nếu như họ biết rằng chỉ có một số lượng có hạn bản sao được vẽ. Bằng cách ký bút chì vào bức vẽ, hoạ sĩ có thể đảm bảo và cá nhân hoá cho bức tranh.

2. Although most prints are signed on the right-hand side in the margin below the image, the placement of the signature is a matter of personal choice. Indeed, prints have been signed within image, in any of the margins, or even on the reserve side of the ‘print: Mặc dù hầu hết các bản in được ký ở phía bên phải bên lề phía dưới hình ảnh, việc ký ở đâu là một sự lựa chọn cá nhân.
