Arts and Artist: Pricing and negotiated price
http://jerrylipp.blogspot.com/2008/11/pricing-and-negotiated-price.html

Prices go up and probably more important this will eventually mean a substanial increase in my income. One thing though I can say without doubt.

http://jerrylipp.blogspot.com/2008/11/another-way-to-look-at-galleries.html
Saturday, November 8, 2008. Another way to look at galleries. In a forum I participate in I answered this question, "Do we need galleries anymore?
