SUMMARY:Legal Hour: Working with Galleries
DESCRIPTION:Legal Hour: Working with Galleries\nTuesday 21st July\, from 13:00 BST (UK time) | Online\nGallery relationships can be one of the most rewarding parts of an artist’s career and one of the most complicated. \nThis Legal Hour session focuses on the practical legal questions that arise when working with galleries: from consignment agreements and commission structures to what happens when a gallery closes\, a work goes missing\, or a payment doesn’t arrive. \nPierre Valentin brings his extensive experience advising both artists and galleries to help you understand your rights\, know what to look for in an agreement\, and feel more confident navigating these relationships. \nArtists are invited to ask about topics such as: \n\nWhat a consignment agreement should and shouldn’t include\nHow commission splits work and what is considered standard\nWhat to do if a gallery hasn’t paid you or is holding your work\nWho is responsible if a work is damaged or lost while in a gallery’s care\nHow to exit a gallery relationship professionally and legally\nWhat to check before signing an exclusivity clause\n\nWhether you are approaching your first gallery relationship or navigating a long-standing one\, this session will give you the knowledge to protect yourself and your work. \nGuest Speaker Pierre Valentin – Art Lawyer Pierre is one of the most respected art lawyers practising today and a leading figure in art and cultural property law. With over 25 years of experience\, he has advised collectors\, galleries\, artists\, museums\, auction houses\, private banks\, and institutions across the UK\, Europe\, the USA\, the Middle East and Asia. A specialist in copyright and resale rights\, and an accredited mediator for the World Intellectual Property Organisation\, Pierre is widely recognised as a “go-to lawyer” in the global art market\, praised for his expertise\, clarity and strategic approach. \nThe session will be recorded and a replay link will be shared with everyone who signs up.
