Research so that you know what art exhibition has a reputation for only displaying and dealing in artwork that is good quality and pays homage to the art industry. Ask around for recommendations if you are not sure about what art exhibition will offer you this.
Nobody wants to buy art that is not authentic therefore it would be great if the art dealership has a system of authenticating the artwork. They need to protect buyers from counterfeit artwork. This will not only save people from massive losses but it will help the clients develop trust fro the dealership. If at all a dealership has a record of having fake artwork on display, then it will do you good to avoid that art dealership altogether.
Find out what artists’ work is on display. Depending on what the exhibition is about, you will know what artists’ art to expect. This is great if at all you are only keen on seeing art from a specific artist. Exhibitions that are clear about which artist’ work will be on display are great because then you are going to the exhibition will be deliberate.

A good art dealership will have art experts on standby to help those new to paintings and artwork know-how to appreciate art so that as they make a purchase they make an informed decision. There is more to art than aesthetics, there are certain things like the age, the rarity of the piece, type of painting and even the artist, that go into determining the value of a piece.
You may want to purchase a painting but are not sure if the piece goes well with space in your home where you want to put it. Fortunately, some great dealerships give you the painting on a trial basis. All you have to do is pay a small fee, like rent, for the piece then you get to take the piece and try it in your place before you commit to buying it.
Last but not least, a great art dealership will always have a reasonable price for their pieces. This is especially important. While valuable art is expensive, you do not want a dealership with exaggerated prices for pieces that are not necessarily that valuable.
