Praise for How to Start and Run a Commercial Art Gallery

"Ed runs one of the most straightforward sites dedicated to demystifying and discussing various aspects of the art world. Now, in How to Start and Run a Commercial Art Gallery, he's packed–in understandable terms–information I wish I had known before starting my gallery."–Zach Feuer, owner, Zach Feuer Gallery and cofounder of New Art Dealers Alliance

“Ed Winkleman has two qualities that are rare: he is quite knowledgeable about the business of operating a contemporary art gallery, and he is willing to share that knowledge with the rest of the world, through his blog and now in this book. He has one more unique quality: his writing is a pleasure to read.”–Daniel Grant, author of The Business of Being an Artist

Ed Winkleman's book is a comprehensive reference for any gallery owner.
Whether you are new to the business or seasoned gallerist, it is always wise
to remember the essentials.–Leigh Conner, Conner Contemporary Art

5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative Book, Feb 6 2010
By Jeremy B. Teitelbaum - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: How to Start and Run a Commercial Art Gallery (Paperback)
I recently opened a photography/art gallery and ordered this book. I am very pleased with it. There are some really great ideas given. Also, not only does the author talk about his own experience running a gallery, but he brings in many examples from other gallery owners that he knows.
He covers in great detail everything from planning, design, opening, marketing, and selling.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who has plans or even just the desire to open an art gallery. I suggest you read this book FIRST.
