As you already know, building a successful art career takes years of hard work and creative output. It is a difficult and demanding process that is made more pleasant and productive with the affiliation of a gallery institution such as Rolf Contemporary. Our artist representation services are designed to be merely the beginning of a mutual relationship in which you maintain regular contact with Rolf Contemporary as we offer accreditation and support in many forms including assistance with promotion, biographical writing, online art sales, art auctioning, research, obtaining Certificates of Authenticity for your work, and exhibiting your art with our eGallery affiliates.
Like most galleries, having a representational arrangement with Rolf Contemporary does not suggest any exclusivity between the artist and the "exhibiting" gallery. Participating in our shows and services does not eliminate your eligibility to work with other galleries. In fact, your affiliation with Rolf Contemporary Gallery is intended to be one of many artist/gallery relationships. We encourage you to continue to pursue dealings with other galleries.
Submission Policies
In order to submit your work for consideration, simply send a letter of interest and 3-10 low resolution images along with any links to past exhibitions or press snippets to the Gallery Director at info (at) rolfcontemporary.com
Because of the unique service we offer, Rolf Contemporary Benefactor Services receives an overwhelming amount of submissions from many talented and creative artists around the world, so please allow sufficient time for us to review. We tend to work with multimedia artists who are at the forefront of contemporary art by staying true to themselves and their individual creativity while still being experimental.
If you are approved to join Rolf Contemporary Gallery, you can choose between two different levels of artist representation services. Participation in the Atelier Professional plan includes the opportunity to exhibit in the highly anticipated Rolf Contemporary Biennale as well as book publishing services with Rolf Contemporary Publishing, Ltd.
