Commercial Galleries: Bricks, Clicks and the Digital Future (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781848226371)

Written by an art advisor and former gallerist with an insider's perspective, this book provides a timely overview of the commercial-gallery sector at a moment of rapid change and expansion. More than any participant in the art market, galleries are seen as mysterious actors with an opaque code of conduct. This book offers a fascinating view of the gallery ecosystem, presenting a systematic diagnosis of key challenges and opportunities facing the sector today. Henry Little discusses the integration of bricks and clicks, addressing the tension between a gallery's physical premises and its online presence, further asking how the world's largest galleries have pulled so far ahead both in terms of their physical expansion and their digital offering. In an industry which increasingly rewards consolidation and brand recognition, the book asks how small and mid-tier galleries can hold their own and whether the traditional gallery model may be under threat in an increasingly digital future.
