Fesshole 🧻I'm an artist and I hate the amount of commission galleries charge. If you like one of an artist's pieces, wait until after the exhibition and approach them privately: you'll get the picture for half the price and the artist will make more money.
Inc Hulk 🧪@fesshole Art I have bought directly from the artist has involved a fantastic discussion over coffee, seeing the workshop and being very happy to hand over well earned cash.
Gallery exhibitions are fine for free champagne on opening day, but don’t buy the artwork there.
