Art Gallery Representation Agreement

An Art Gallery Representation Agreement is a legal contract between an artist and a gallery, outlining the terms under which the gallery represents, promotes, and sells the artist’s works. It typically covers exclusivity, commission structure, pricing, exhibition arrangements, marketing responsibilities, intellectual property rights, insurance, duration, and termination conditions. This agreement protects both the artist’s creative interests and the gallery’s commercial role. From 2022–2024, the global art gallery market grew steadily, with representation agreements becoming more common as artists sought international exposure. Forecasts for 2025–2030 suggest 8–10% annual growth in gallery–artist collaborations, driven by digital platforms and rising demand for contemporary art.
