Usage notes

In US, more commonly used by newer entrants, particularly to avoid commercial connotations of dealer or owner, and to suggest a closer relationship with the artist, as someone who represents artists. Sometimes distinguished by gallerist being an operator of an art gallery, operating in the primary market (i.e, sales of new artwork), while dealer referring to the secondary market (i.e, reselling art).
