What is truly sad is that the artist gets a pittance of the true value of this work, the mark up is horrendous. Most artists receive a few hundreds dollars for the commission, where the dealer will command thousands. And in these cases the artist is totally unaware of the rip off, and is mostly interested in where their next meal or bottle of alcohol is coming from. Because of this, I rarely support this industry.
