Hi Mr. Binnion:

    I was wondering about your thoughts on artists who are new in their
    careers. Your name carries a lot of weight with galleries and I was
    under the impression that between you and someone just starting, you
    would have more say in who carries your work and what the terms are. 

    How do you feel about consignment for someone who wants to get the
    maximum exposure? 

    One other point, it was mentioned earlier that an artist showed up
    at galleries with a contract and the gallery owner backed off on the
    deal. This (to me) would be a sign that the gallery was not right for
    me in the first place. There are galleries out there professional
    enough to deal in contracts, right? I don't do anything on a
    handshake anymore (unfortunately). 

Thanks,
