[Leica] Selling prints online and prices

[tcharara at mac.com (Tarek Charara)]

Hello Nicolas,

I have had over 20 solo exhibitions since 2000 and I have only sold 6  
prints. The price for 5 of them was 300,00 Euros each (1st print of a  
10print edition - 30x40cm) and the 6th was at 8500,00 Euros (a unique  
piece for a museum 1mx1,20m). I think I could sell more if I took the  
time to market my work. You need to have access to collectors and  
museums. I haven't seriously tried to sell via the net yet. I'm  
working on that. I'm also working on a "cheaper" inkjet version of  
certain prints, with a larger edition of 50 or 100 prints, apparently  
there is a market for that.

All the best from the south of France!

Tarek
