Devora,

    Well, VAT aside, aren't your prices already such that you can take a
    commission hit & still make at least some money? Basically, allowing
    you to sell at wholesale or consignment, and still be OK? Clearly,
    you make more money selling it without anyone else getting a take,
    but if, as you say, this is mostly for getting some publicity, then
    so long as you're not losing any money, you'd be happy. Now, with the
    VAT, are you not adding the same % when you sell something, just
    maybe it's not already built into the price? Or is this venue in a
    totally different place & you don't normally have to add that same
    VAT? Either way, it's money for the goverment, it's not you fault the
    customer has to pay that extra amount. It just goes from you (or the
    gallery, in this case) to the goverment. Just be sure they know it's
    included in the price. I apologize if I'm missing something in your
    scenario, but it seems pretty simple to me.
