visual-art:gallerist

A gallerist runs a gallery and works the primary market, taking art fresh from the studio. They represent living artists for the long term and first make a finished work reachable to its public, through gallery walls, fair booths, and online viewing rooms. Work arrives completed from painters, sculptors, photographers, and master printers. Once placed, it passes to conservators and registrars who safeguard it. What the gallerist adds is the moment a studio work first reaches its audience.
