Gloves, two-person lifts, face-out carrying and padded rests, plus when household art needs trained specialist handlers
Handle paintings and objects with clean hands or the right gloves, two people for anything awkward, and the painted face towards the carriers. This practical guide covers assessment, lifts, orientation, resting blocks, the gloves debate, a domestic kit table, fragile edge cases, professional practice, costs and when to hire trained art handlers.
Cross-border customs routes, ATA Carnets, UK export licences and Gulf import notes for exhibition and sale shipments
Moving a work across a border means choosing temporary or permanent entry, lining up licences and invoices, and clearing customs with values that stand up to audit. This guide covers carnets, UK export controls, document packs, GCC route differences and when to hire a broker rather than a parcel label.
Goryeo celadon, pensive bodhisattvas, buncheong ware and Joseon true-view painting across Korea's historical courts
Korean art history spans Three Kingdoms gilt-bronze sculpture, Goryeo celadon with sanggam inlay, Joseon buncheong and white porcelain, and true-view landscapes. This museum-led survey names kiln regions and National Treasure works so you can read a wall label without collapsing Korea into a China or Japan footnote.
Front-of-house, sales support and the mid-level track inside dealer spaces: duties, pay ranges and how people get hired
A gallery assistant job is front-of-house and administration inside a commercial space that sells art. This guide maps the role ladder, day-to-day work, sourced salary bands in the UK and US, museum versus trade distinctions, and regional hiring patterns, without promising pay or teaching artists how to sell.
How Paris’s official exhibition ruled careers, and why Napoleon III’s 1863 annex of rejected pictures changed the stakes
In 1863 the Paris Salon jury turned away more than half the works submitted. Napoleon III ordered a public annex for the refused. Crowds laughed; Manet and Whistler became infamous overnight. This guide maps the Salon system, the Refusés stakes, key canvases, and the path toward independent exhibitions.
A practical 2026 guide to how art galleries earn press coverage
Press coverage no longer means a critic walking through your door. In 2026 it means a press release that journalists, search engines and AI answer engines can all read — and a clear plan for getting it in front of the right people. Here is how galleries earn coverage that keeps working long after the opening.
Collectors now start with a search bar — increasingly, an AI one — long before they reach a gallery door. A practical guide to how discovery actually works now, and what a gallery can do about it.
The journey to a gallery almost never begins at its door any more. It begins in a search field — someone typing "contemporary art gallery Dubai", "buy abstract sculpture", or the name of an artist they read about — and, increasingly, it begins inside an AI assistant that answers the question directly without ever showing a list of links. For galleries, this is both an opportunity and a quiet threat.
