Artist, collector, and gallery relations shouldn’t be based on just a handshake.
While trust is a key element of a comfortable relationship, contracts for consignment, exhibition, purchase, sale, and loan agreements should be carefully written and reviewed, so that all parties understand their rights and responsibilities.
We often consult with clients and professional appraisers on appraisal issues, which should also be properly defined through contract.
