Definition of an art dealer
Perhaps the historical origin of the profession was as buyers and sellers of antiquities, but I know of no contemporary art dealers who do this. They are instead technically brokers, or intermediaries in the transaction between buyers and sellers, collecting a fee/commission. Wealthy dealers may also be collectors, although I do not know how they avoid conflict of interest.--WriterArtistDC (talk) 01:00, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
 * That's much too sweeping. At various levels, and especially with "second-hand" art, large numbers still operate in the traditional way. Also, at least in the UK, afaik the contracts between living artists and the galleries who represent them often or usually mean that the dealer does become the legal owner of works before they are sold on - unlike (usually) an auction house.

I have a painting I was wondering if it’s worth anything
It’s a Paris setting of a part of the city with a dome building in the far distance in the center of the picture the signature looks like it says Sebastian but the end at the end of Sebastian is weird and then it’s got like a a D or something like that I can’t really tell just figuring I’d ask you maybe you can figure out or know who I’m talking about 2600:100E:B07A:7EF:61D0:1891:DC0B:4CF2 (talk) 20:22, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
