Abstract

Since the 21st century, the Chinese economy has been developing rapidly. People's demand for life is no longer limited to food, clothing, and warmth. More people have begun to pursue spiritual fulfillment. The increased demand for art has led to a diversification of the market and laid the foundation for a thriving art market. However, the development of China's art market is still imperfect, the problem of market sensitivity and vulnerability has not been solved, which also makes the market show instability. As part of the primary art market, galleries also suffer from incomplete development. This paper analyzes the current situation of China's gallery industry from its strengths and weaknesses. It points out that some galleries need to refer to and follow the development of excellent foreign cases, such as the Leo Castelli Gallery. The abilities needed by art management jobbers to work in the gallery industry are given and analyzed in detail. The basic qualities needed for art management talents to enter the gallery are analyzed, such as practical ability and connoisseurship.
