Would you like to have an agent, who sells your art and promotes your career? Or would you prefer to have a contract with a gallery, which provides you a guaranteed monthly income? Carole Katchen has written two articles on that in her eBook. Subscribe here and we will send them to you for free:
Despite the fact that the paintings of Vincent van Gogh are being sold for tens of millions of dollars today, he died poor and desperate because his art didn’t sell during his lifetime.
Did you know, that Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali both became multimillionaires in their lifetime because of their art sales? They did not share the tragic fate of poor artists like Vincent van Gogh.
What is the difference between van Gogh and Picasso or Dali? What made the latter successful AND rich so quickly?
Do you believe, that those ingenious artists became famous and successful only because of their outrageous artistic capabilities? Picasso and Dali were not just ingenious artists; they were ingenious in the promotion of their art as well.
Have you ever heard any of the uncounted anecdotes about Picasso? Or the unusual public appearances of Dali? Those events didn’t happen by accident. Both of these artists did them on purpose as a way to market their art and make themselves famous. Even today public relation experts and professional advertisers can still learn a lot from their successful PR-coups (famous contemporary artists like Jeff Koons or Damien Hirst know and apply their secrets, too!).
If your answer to any of these questions is "Yes!" and you want to walk in the shoes of Picasso and Dali, the eBook "Promoting & Selling Your Art" is the right choice for you.
Learn to promote yourself and your art in a professional and successful way, learn from the bestselling author and successful artist Carole Katchen how to …

Based on her own experience Carole Katchen knows the artists’ problems around promoting their art. That is the reason why she wrote this book already in 1978 to show artists the secrets of success in promoting and selling art. During the past decades she has proven herself, that her advice really works "out there". She has up-dated her book in this special eBook format, too.

"It is the best informative book on how to promote and sell art works I’ve ever come across. Clearly, Carole Katchen is a brilliant artist who understands how to unblock the mind of a new and insecure artist. It is well researched, easy to understand and follow, and everything that one needs to know. For too many years I wasted valuable time wondering as to how to pursue my artistic talents professionally and very nearly gave up hope until by chance came across Carole Katchen’s book. I have done several paintings, but I either give them away as gifts or they land up in my shed collecting dust. But now I know exactly what to do and I wish to thank Carole for helping me achieve this."

"I can’t tell you how much I love that book. I consider it my "art bible"! It was like God led me to your book. I have been an obscure artist due to the fact, I had absolutely no idea how to promote and sell my art. The book was an easy to understand guide for me. I printed it, and read it over and over. The only area I felt that could be more in depth would be on the subject of "Fine art street fairs". The book covered… Read more…
