I recently received an email from an artist who ran into a bit of a
dilemma (or at least she thought she did). She had been showing a piece
of art in a gallery in her home town for a number of months. When the
piece didn’t sell, she rotated the piece, along with several others, to a
gallery out of town. A short time later, she received a call from the
first gallery saying that a client had come in and was interested in
purchasing this particular piece of art and wondered if it was still
available.
The artist’s question to me was, “What should I do if the piece sells
through the first gallery? Should I pay the second gallery part of the
commission since it is now in their possession? How do I handle the
situation without stepping on anyone’s toes?”
