"Agents" (?) for photo-graphic artists?
Hi,
I'm looking for ways to market photography and graphic art. I've done the
usual gamut of web adverts, galleries, etc. A friend suggested that I try
to find an "agent" who would take on my work, and for a commission, use his
connections to try to make bulk sales of prints, etc.
I know that there are commonly "agents" or "agencies" used for actors,
musicians, etc., but I have never heard of "agents" representing artists.
Usually artists try to set up a liaison with a gallery - who then becomes
their "agent" for a percentage of their sales.
Has anyone heard of the concept of "agents" for artists (particularly for
photo-print/graphic-print art); or can anyone point me in the direction of
finding such a thing?
thanks for any helpful advice...
Gary
