In Selling Art
The second most important thing after “obtaining” in owning a work of art is “selling”.
In recent years, the spread of the Internet has made it possible to sell your own artworks at Yahoo! Auctions.
However, selling art that has reached a certain level requires credit and knowledge,
so the current situation is that it is difficult without going through a dealer who is familiar with the road.
In recent years, the number of purchase specialty stores
that do not assume retail sales to customers has increased nationwide.
It is intended for short-term resale at art auctions.
There are some excellent stores where you can make proposals from the customer’s perspective,
Because there are some stores that focus on profit pursuit and are strict about business.
It is necessary for the customer to have a solid “Connoisseur”.
Explanation of the target work, current distribution value, options for selling method, etc.
If you have a sincere personality with a real store that you can present firmly,
I’m sure you can leave it to us with confidence.
If the store specializes in retailing works in the field you want to sell,
You can expect a better purchase price.
Even if the collection has passed the “obtain” without any mistakes.
If you make a mistake in “selling”, you will get sad results.
Because the Japanese art industry is still a closed market,
Transparent proposals are indispensable.
