I do not know about other galleries, but the ones I am in use a trust policy. They hand out my card and write their name on the back. I make a point when someone calls to find out where they heard of me and if it is one of my galleries then I let them know as soon as a contract is signed. The galleries I am in ask for 30% commission if they saw my work at their place. That is fair as far as I am concerned.

I used to be in one that wanted to handle all the details and it got real confusinig because there is always a middle man and it seems to put people off when they want to describe what they want for a painting. It takes face to face or phone conversations to really understand and people seem to give up long before that if they go through someone.
