Art on Display from San Francisco Art Dealer Mayer Flaks

Mayer Flaks is an art dealer in San Francisco, California. As an art dealer, Mayer Flaks works as a middle man connecting aspiring artists with art buyers. It is Mayer Flaks’s job to know what his buyers want and help them find the artist who creates the work that interests them. He has worked his position for many years and has shored up a number of steady and reliable art connections.

One of the biggest projects that Mayer Flaks worked on was when a new medical office was being opened by a dermatologist. The office decided to furnish their waiting room and each individual room with local works of art. The medical office used Mayer Flaks as their go-to for buying art. Naturally, Mayer Flaks was exhilarated both for himself and for the artist he helped make sales for. 

The subject and type for each piece differed from room to room. The office was mostly focused on the medium to large size paintings that could work in the big waiting room, or smaller exam rooms. In total, Mayer Flaks procured over twelve paintings for the one medical office alone. Naturally, the artists were pleased when their paintings were bought. 

This was one of the best moments in Mayer Flaks’s career. There was very little effort needed on his part to sell the talent of the artist and what made the art so unique and valuable. Instead, he just had to document which art was wanted and add up the total before finishing the sale. Mayer Flaks’s asked the office to recommend him as an art dealer to any patients who found the work interesting. In this method, Mayer Flaks hoped to spread his connections to more interested art buyers.
