Amateur Question Needs Answer, by FFF on Sept 13, 2016 18:12:30 GMT 1, Hi all,
I've been lurking on these forums for a while, but I recently started delving into collecting. I only have a handful of pieces so far, but I hope to start saving up to acquire some cool things in the near future. Anyway, this is probably a dumb question, but I hope someone can take the time to answer:
When an artist has a gallery showing, do they usually release prints alongside the debut of the gallery show? I'm asking because I see Sandra Chevrier has a show coming up in LA. I'm curious if I can expect to also find prints of what she'll be showing at the gallery? If so, I will probably make the drive to LA, even if there's a chance that I can acquire something of hers at face.
Thanks!

Amateur Question Needs Answer, by stillborncrisps on Sept 13, 2016 19:12:22 GMT 1, Every show is different, mate, and certainly different Stateside vs UK, plus the level of gallery can make a difference to 1 print getting released, several, or OGs only.
Why not phone the gallery, they usually know a few weeks in advance what the plan is. 
Generally if there is a print it will be released on the private view night, so get your name down on the gallery's invite list. If it's a popular artist you may have to wait in line several hours before opening time. Other times you can breeze in casually, or even next day and still pick one up.
If it's a several hour drive why not ask the gallery if you can reserve a print. It might be only their best VIP customers get this treatment, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
Good luck.
