About Alan Klevit
Expertise
I can provide sound advice on buying, collecting & understanding fine art, especially original works by 20th century masters and leading contemporary artists. I can also explain techniques used to create original works and offer tips on how to tell whether or not a piece is an original work of art.

Experience

I have been active in the art world for twenty-seven years. I owned and operated four galleries and a wholesale showroom on both coasts. We specialized in original works by 20th century masters and emerging artists. I have been an art consultant, artist's representative, lecturer, auctioneer, and curator. I had a radio show for two years, "Today's Art World with Alan Klevit" [Washington, D.C.]; hosted two television shows on the arts for six years [Los Angeles Area]; have written for numerous local papers and international art magazines; and currently write a syndicated column, "The Art Beat." I conduct art auctions for charities throughout the United States, and am a frequent speaker/auctioneer on upscale cruise ships, and at civic organizations and local television shows.

I have been selling my work online but ish to putmy work up for real auctions where they can be sold for much highervalue. Have contacted auction houses for this but so far haven't got success in that.  Pleasesuggesthow can I sell my work for high price and where?

Thanks,

Abhilasha.

Answer
Dear A.  I admire your confidence and tenacity.  However, the value of your work is what people will pay for it.  Auction houses carry artists with established markets.  It took Chagall 40 years to get into auction houses, and he was world famous.  Keep selling and be patient.
