More About the Author

I began repping artists in San Francisco in 1986. As I trekked the pavement to introduce my group of five artists to art professionals and business owners, I met many artists who wanted to be repped. Realizing I could not rep them all, and that they needed to learn to do it themselves, I began composing reports on topics of art marketing. These eventually developed into a book, A Handbook for Artists which later became Art Marketing 101 after many revises. I started traveling the country giving art marketing seminars. I decided to find some authors on a few more art-related business topics. We now have six books that ArtNetwork publishes.

This review is from: Art Office: 80+ Business Forms, Charts, Sample Letters, Legal Documents & Business Plans (Paperback)

Art Office is a comprehensive collection of forms, plans, inventory sheets, and contracts that can benefit an artist in any stage of their career. With only the forms they've provided in the book, I've created a detailed marketing plan complete with target markets, goals and dates, project planners, and master inventories of my orginal artwork, prints, and samples sent out to galleries/contests/reps, etc... I assume that when the time comes, the contracts will also come in handy.

One of the best additions, in my opinion, is the Visual Artist copyright form from the US government, right there in black and white, ready to reproduce at a moment's notice. I say that this is among the best features because it took me countless hours searching online for the correct copyright form. I finally found it, and have since copyrighted my artwork, but had I had this book to reference, it would have saved me time, aggrevation, and some hair (it grew back, eventually).

All in all, I'd highly recommend Art Office to any artist, for any purpose, anywhere, at anytime.

I found these forms very handy, or at least a very good start for customizing to your needs. Their is a wide range of useful forms for both the business side of your art business as well as necessary "CYA" forms from a legal perspective. Most useful to me were model releases, gallery contract/consignment, and budget related forms.
