The Most Valuable Piece To Have In Your Galley September 21, 2009
Reviewer: Benjamin Lee Webster - www.benjaminleewebster.com from Dallas, TX United States  
This IS the starting point for those brave souls that dare to venture down the path to opening an art gallery. I'm in the process of opening 2 galleries and this book is one of the most valuable pieces that I will have.

Before reading How to Start and Run a Commercial Art Gallery, I began with rough ideas and concepts about what I wanted to accomplish with my galleries. Edward Winkleman has done an incredible job at providing a solid foundation and an insightful framework for me with his book.  

Each chapter was filled with direction that was clear and well communicated. After reading the book, I felt that that I gained years of wisdom and experience. For the areas that I needed to research further, this book gave me those sources.

How to Start and Run a Commercial Art Gallery is an investment not only in my business, but in myself as well.

Bravo!
Benjamin Lee Webster
Owner of The Benjamin Lee Webster Gallery (opening December 2009 and Venue4theArts (opening Mid 2010)
