The note of a sale
Every resale leaves two notes: one for the seller, one for the artist
When a work that carries our certificate is sold again through the gallery, the sale is booked in the ledger of the certificate, and the artist’s royalty with it. The collector who sells receives a note of sale; the artist receives a note of royalty. Here they are for a work from a private collection, as specimens.
Specimens. A note is the record of a sale, not money: it has no bearer, it cannot be passed on or redeemed. The amount is printed only on the note each party receives, never in public.
The sale of a work that passed to its next owner through the gallery, with its certificate.

What is inside the price of a work of art
What the price of a work of art includes at a gallery: who it pays, what comes with the work, what is quoted apart and what a discount tells you.
What a gallery’s commission pays for
What commission does an art gallery charge? Usually a share of the sale, never a fee. What that share pays for and what to agree in writing.
