Hi Elaine

Whilst I agree with you in principle, I think there is a difference between
a gallery which 'represents' you, and a gallery which is showing your work
for a temporary period. In the latter instance, I would certainly never
undercut the gallery whilst my work was showing there, but once the display
is finished, the obligations on both sides become much less clear.

If I find that a customer comes to me having seen my work at the gallery,
and buys a different piece of work from one that was exhibited, then I would
be inclined to give the gallery say 10%, in recognition of the contact.
However if a customer comes to me direct who had had no contact with the
gallery, then I would not feel that I owed the gallery any obligation.

What do others feel about this?
