Molnár Ani, Godot, Inda, Knoll - all these galleries are located in the center of Budapest, on Pest side, and common thing between them is they are all flat galleries.
There are both advantages and disadvantages of having a flat gallery, instead of a usual gallery on Falk Niksa utca, for example.
Advantages:
- no renting payments
- they can have an attractive yard
- it's more comfortable inside
- they can have good storage rooms
- and they usually have staff's own room, where they have a kitchen, table and chairs. They can easily have a rest there.
Disadvantages:
- not many people know about these places, only those who are really interested in this field
- they spend a lot on PR
- most of them are new, will take quite a long to attract customers
- usually no good security, they rely on neighbourhood mainly
A very new and quite shocking information for me today was that from a sell of a painting a gallery gets 50% of the profit, and 50% the artist. I thought galleries get much less, like around 20%.
