Their instructions on how to pack objects for example, are so thorough, only the most dexterously challenged will find difficulty executing them. What's more, should this book reach the majority of working artists today, the quality of gallery staff life would improve by a level of magnitude... -- Paddy Johnson for <i>The L Magazine</i><br><br>"I'll bet this powerful little paperback finds a permanent home on the list of best business books for artists.... The contract, invoice and inventory templates alone are worth the cover price." -- <i>The Artist's Magazine </i><br><br>"This book is a godsend...it should be required reading in fine arts curricula." -- <i>Santa Fe New Mexican</i><br><br>"This book is filled with the kind of nuts-and-bolts business advice every artist needs to read." -- ArtBistro.com<br><br>"Together [the authors] make for a powerful combo, offering both extensive knowledge of the gallery system and the ins and outs of art law, for some well-founded tips on how to succeed in the art world...it's the perfect gift for anyone working in a creative field." -- CoolHunting.com<br><br>Bhandari and Melber, both Brown University graduates, have drawn on their own experiences and interviews with 100 curators, dealers, and other arts professionals to offer advice on everything from preparing artwork for shipping to coping with rejection. -- <i>Boston Globe</i><br><br>Emerging curators, along with established curators who work with living artists, would do well to read it, as would art dealers and workers at nonprofit spaces or organizations....
