The phenomenom that is the guide book for artists. From how to photograph your work, price it, and get it into a gallery; to discussing inspiration, self-doubt and depression, author Paul Dorrell, the gallery owner and novelist, debunks many myths about the art business, covers a wealth of practical essentials, and makes you believe in yourself for having undertaken this difficult, but very rewarding, journey.
In this book Dorrell offers real-life guidance by relating the rigors of his own gallery's history, his failures and successes and his dealings with New York agents and publishers.
