Artist's resale right: what a UK gallery has to do, and when
A resale of £1,000 or more can owe the artist a royalty, and your gallery can be liable for it. Which sales count, how much, and how to pay.
Showing and selling at Art Basel Paris: before, during and after the fair
The dates, the list and the invitations, what you note on the booth, the week after. And the French rules when a sale closes in Paris, one subject at a time.
