art dealer provocative solution poaching problem 2655240

Art dealer Wendi Norris of San Francisco has introduced buyout clauses in contracts with her artists, borrowing a strategy from professional sports. If an artist leaves for a mega-gallery like Gagosian, Hauser & Wirth, Pace, or David Zwirner, Norris receives financial compensation—such as the right to purchase works at her original prices for potential resale. This practice aims to address the widespread problem of poaching, where larger galleries lure rising artists away from the smaller dealers who nurtured their careers, often causing financial and emotional strain.
