Commission An Artist Online

People have been commissioning artists for a thousand years. It is one of the earliest forms of trade. Kings, Queens, Lords then industrialists, pioneers, even pirates took artists in and fed, housed and paid them to make great art. The artist commission is as old as time. But, a system or channel for commissioning art has never been established. Almost every other form of trade has become formalized into retail, trade or barter networks and outlets. But not the art commission.It is still an ad hoc, grey market. It may be worth billions of dollars a year, but it’s completely disorganized. If you happen to bump into an artist at a dinner party that sculpts how you like – bingo, you’ll commission him. Or not. There’s no marketplace for artists commissions. Buyers have little choice or price transparency. Artists have no route to market. Gallery’s are not geared up for it.
