Commissions

A major portion of Henry's work is produced on a commissioned basis.

A commission can give the private collector, a designer, or corporate art buyer an unusual opportunity to work closely with Henry.

While much of Henry Isaacs' output is produced in bodies of work shown in gallery exhibitions, the paintings and drawings are not produced with a particular client or installation in mind.

A commission can give an opportunity for the collector and Henry to work closely in discussion of scale, color and subject of a picture.

In many cases one of Henry's gallery representatives is involved and is able to add their years of professional experience to the planning.

Depending on the structure of a commission, preliminary studies can be useful to refine the goals of the project.
The costs of course vary. Henry has produced commissioned paintings, and pastel drawings from 4 inches square to 6 x 20 feet!

However the buyer will find that the price of this arrangement is only slightly higher than that which might be paid at an exhibition. There may be travel, site installation, framing and other costs as the commission requires.

As you peruse through our web site, consider the option of asking Henry to paint a favorite view, a wonderful picnic spot, a landscape that has a particular meaning for the potential owner.

The buyer can participate in the selection of palette and scale as well, so that the finished piece can more easily meet the demands of wall space in a home or office.
