Is the price of a work of art negotiable?

Negotiations

Not every work of art is negotiable. Some artist's works are so heavily sought after that there is no need to negotiate. When demand is greater than supply, the seller has the upper hand. But remember, it always pays to ask. Prices at ARTinaClick.com are 30% to 50% less than traditional glleries. Buy Framed Art Now!
