Make your significant masterpieces the ones youve learned & grown on the most, and that they are youre biggest & most expenisve paintings. True wealth will only go for the best & outstanding ones. They might ask you for the paintings you don`t wanna sell. Show them only when you only know they can afford it. First class people hire first class people. second class people hire third class people. Let them explain you the reasons why they love a painting, and what reasons are there for them to buy this particular one. The masterpieces are your premium artworks, thats what the big collectors are pretending to look for cause it will deepen there art collection. They might although aim for it, cause they got hopes that it will be good investment. You should inspire them to buy for the cause on love & affection for the painting itself instead greed.

They might be living more by numbers and classic business, being lesser connected with there concious feelings. Its good to open them, and there mind for your art, conceptually and practically.

4. Advice: Know the art game, your game & behave royal to attract elite behavior

Make the masterpieces the paintings, you won’t sell at all, and if you sell them, than only for a super high price.

Have an agreement with the people who buy your works that they give you the opportunity to rebuy your paintings, and paper works back in case they don`t have it in the future anymore. You deserve this right as the artist. It gives you the chance to nurture your brand. You where the one who gave them the opportunity & chance to aquire your wonderful work. You could have sold it easly to someone else. So the least they can do is, to have to give you the chance to first buy your work back. You should integrate into the written agreement that you have enough time to find new collector for the individual painting.

People with real fiancially power and taste can see & identify for them self if something got quality, or even outstanding quality. It will help to explain them your work abit.

7. Rule: Build up a clever diversified oeuvre on paintings.

Make them collect you & all your different works. You will be as an artist creating different collections on paintings, pieces, paper, series, sculptures.

8. Rule: A Warning! Cocaine, wealthy Art clients, artcollector & you the free artist! 

Be witty an fun on cracking decent jokes about coke culture and its qualitys when necessary in conversation to show your distinguished society horizon, but keep your own nose clean. Otherwise it will cause you years on focus, and challenge your real goals. Be liberal when your buyers & collector friends are lit up. We all have your vices and that is just fine. Keep this one out of your life, for it will distract you from your work, and your artbuyers will loose respect in the longrun. Accept only money for your work as payment. You can only serve one major godly feeling in the universe and that is your love partay on creating your art. They are other & for you in the long run more energy efficient & natural ways on building rapport & friendship connection with your buying artcollectors. A good way is to act believeably blind or to mention a heartfailure from personal consume years to avoid galantly offers by your peers. You have to stay independent doesnt matter how deeply you connected in your hood. The collectors who are doing it alone on the toilet distinguishedly descretly are the ones who buying your work. The ones who are offering are the sharks who try to lay you on a chain where they make you dependent on them in no time. When your collectors are back in there life you are on your own. Stay free!!!

9. Rule: Understand society & the social class who buy your artwork & paintings!

Hangout, chill and make friends with bankers, brokers, entrepreneurs, privatiers, millionaires, royalty old established  aswell as new money. Learn what is important for them in art, in the process on collecting art, and the aquistion on art. Learn how the human nature being thinks, loves, feels, and behave when rich & wealthy without judging. Understand there Perspective. When you are passionate & focused in your art you will soon reach the same financial status as your artbuyers. Learn from them, your are on same income level as the 7 closest friends arround you by statistic. Beaware that new money only looks like money and is mostly interested in just showing there new status publicly, so rethink about if art is already there momentary status toy. Think like the Vietcong. An army lives by its land! Be aware that you as the artist are the catch and the living status symbol so act like it. The ones showing themselfs with you in public will gain than even without even buying massive amount on social value in there circles. Make them earn it substancialy. Class & oldmoney will understand this, and will support galantly. People with test you early how you behave yourself reagrding this. be wise, straight forward & honest. people with money and without established interlectual culture will have to by the culture in art form to get integrated in new older money circles, while people who come from money got the cultural interlectual horzion by education and childhood to understand and grow on art. Use this to your advantage.

10. Rule: Go bigger! For you exclusive, is not necessary for your buyers exclusive

Offer for promising art investment and interesting buyers only big or expensive luxurious paintings. Strategic & wealthy buyers buy alot of times one time, and then they wait for 10years to see how you develop on the market with your prices. You create your market arround you. Give them only the chance to by the great stuff. They will love you for this. Curate them thru your whole body of work incase they wanna build up a position. This means, they want from all your painting periods relevant works in there art collection portfolio.
