Reviews
“For all those interested in the inner workings of the art world, this book offers clear and concise information and some interesting examples as well. I highly recommend it.”
—Audrey Flack, Painter
“Not simply a how-to book, Selling Art without Galleries is a hands-on, highly detailed guidebook to daily life in the complex and sometimes murky world of the art market. Grant’s reliance on first-person reports from artists, administrators, and dealers makes the book particularly informative.”
—Glenn Harper, Editor, Sculpture magazine
“Daniel Grant has put together a useful tool for artists who want to get away from traditional art galleries and explore the world of art shows, Web sales and specialized markets. New artists will find this particularly helpful when choosing a direction for their career.”
—Cameron Meier, Editor, Sunshine Artist magazine
“While the gallery scene is but a small part of the world of opportunity available to artists, possibilities beyond that scene are numerous, diverse, and seemingly overwhelming. Daniel Grant again provides a road map for artists to navigate oft confusing terrain—and crafts it all into a good read, to boot.”
— John Biederman, Editor, Chicago Artists’ News
