Hi Stacey,
The commission split (60/40) you mentioned in your post is the standard for permanent works (works on canvas and sculpture) in the gallery trade.
However, there would be no additional fees from a reputable gallery since their operating expenses,including marketing plans come from the 40%.
As an art consultant for many years, I would negotiate the 25% if you really want to have them represent your work. Before signing any contracts, contact a member of the Volunteer Lawyers for the Art (they work on a sliding scale)and have them give it a once over. Good luck!
Best regards,
Cynthia Houppert
