A few days ago my manager went to pick up art from a hotel who had called to say that after a few months, nothing had sold. When he went to pick up the art, he discovered that 1/4 of my work had actually sold. Which, given the limited amount of time my work had been hanging in the hotel during the off season, was in line with other spaces my work was selling at in the same area.
The hotel manager tried to argue with my manager and insisted that all that work had been stolen. And was trying to not pay for any of it. Even though the art was in a restricted area that was not easily accessible to non employees. If I had not made sure to give my manager the paperwork from when he dropped the work off, that clearly stated the name of the hotel, the manager
good advise – it is so easy to drop something off and believe it all will work out
Thank you Ursula. Well said!
Something similar happened to me. I was swapping out new for old work at a long time gallery. A painting was missing from the “old.” Gallerist explained it may have been stolen or she may have forgotten to pay me when it sold… To her credit, she mailed me a check for the painting that afternoon. I’m glad I had the original consignment form with me, but even more glad I didn’t have use it!
