An Art Gallery Is A Place Of Beauty

By Bernard Miner


The art gallery is where art objects meet an audience. It is a building or other space for the exhibition of visual art. Private galleries are commercial enterprises intended for the sale of the artists' work that is on show.

Private galleries are typically free for the public to observe. A group of contemporary art galleries can often be found concentrated in a particular city district, for example Chelsea, New York. These exhibition spaces turn a profit for the private owners, based on commission on sales, usually between a quarter and a half of the selling price.

Frederica Rossi also has works on show. Her method has developed from the use of acrylic and oil paints to incorporate clay, sand and glue direct onto canvas. This physical aspect makes the abstract even more emotive. Rossi's works have been seen in solo and group exhibitions in her native Italy and abroad.

An on-line gallery is a website displaying works of art. It is run as a business by promoting art to potential buyers. On-line galleries are sometimes known as on-line secondary markets.

These widely divergent concepts are all part of the contemporary art scene. Without an art house, they would remain obscure. Privately owned art houses bring modern art to the wider audience, normally at no cost to the audience.

The cosmopolitan world of the art gallery, publishing house and art dealer is becoming more international and commercial today than ever before. The business of contemporary art is a very competitive market, but there are possibilities of large profits. This is why good galleries will pay a stipend to ensure the artist can survive until the day that his or her brand of art is suddenly noticed by collectors. An art house cultivates collectors, does public relations on the artists' behalf and encourages critics to publish reviews.

The art gallery is a place for the creations of the artists' imaginations to be exposed to critical view. Contemporary art galleries in particular, choose to show pieces that demand the viewer to reconsider ideas of the evolutionary process that brought them to this society. The Mark Gallery is the ideal place to reflect on these notions.
