What Artist Brokers Does
Explain the broker role in the art economy — professionals who negotiate sales, commissions, licensing, and bookings for artists — and what fair representation terms look like.
Placing finished work with collectors and buyers, negotiating price and terms.
Structuring custom-work agreements: scope, deposits, revisions, and kill fees.
Selling reproduction rights — prints, products, editorial — without selling the work.
Negotiating appearances, murals, residencies, and live-work engagements.
Exclusivity, territory, duration, and percentage — the clauses that matter.
Typical commission ranges by deal type, so both sides negotiate informed.
How Artist Brokers Works
Sales, commissions, licensing, bookings — each has its own standard terms.
Track record, existing roster, and transparent accounting come before any signature.
Fixed duration, defined territory, clear percentages — and an exit clause.
