Leslie,
Not Dumb at all. Sounds like you are on top of things.
Congrats on taking the risk to approach a gallery
AND
enjoy the fact that YOUR work was accepted.
Carl
Leslie, No matter how cordial a gallery owner is you should have a written agreement acknowledging that the objects are yours and DETAILING the terms of the consignment. Who is responsible for loss or damage should be considered. Way too many artist/gallery horror stories even with friendly peopel. ...
