Hi, i asked a similer question, but i though i would make it more, abroad. I am an artistic photographer and i want to get my artwork hung in a gallery or museum for modern art, like the MOMA In NYC. People love my shots and think that they are beautiful and should be in a gallery, so i asked myself, why aren't they. Does anyone own an art gallery or know how to get my art work into an art gallery? Any contacts or ideas, other than stapling it to the walls and leaving would be apprecited. Thanks so much.
Getting my art work posted in a Gallery....?
Well, MOMA is kind of an ambitious place to start. There are lots of small galleries looking for artists. You need to get your work together in a portfolio and start making contacts. There are probably a lot of gallery spaces in your area. Public libraries, art schools or cooperatives, even cafes and restaurants display art.
Reply:Copy the stuff to disk, email it, send prints, distribute it any way possible.
Go to parties, openings, if you can schmooze, politic and gladhand, do it, make connections. Get yourself known.
The art world is half politics and half talent and maybe more politics.
If you get into the MOMA, please remember me.
Reply:I owned a contemporary art gallery, and my suggestion would be to make a portfolio of your artwork. Make a professional artist's biography, mission statement, and list a way for each gallery to get a hold of you. You should call each gallery before sending your artwork package to them. Send each gallery a small representation of your work, but create it in such a way that they can not reproduce it themselves. Read up about the industry and protocols in how-to books, and make sure you are knowledgeable and well-stated when you speak to gallery owners and buyers. Good luck.
