TORONTO, ONTARIO (MARKET WIRE) Toronto art dealers collect 30-60% in commission from all artwork sold leaving very little for the artist. A lack of professional status, in the form of an art organization makes artists easy prey for art dealers, who are not governed by any controlling body. Without professional status there is no way to ensure fair treatment, so art dealers become more aggressive and artists more accepting of any offer that comes their way.
