Sold original Painting - can I sell Prints of it?

(1/2) > >>

Tlara:
Hi, I'm new to selling art (print on demand) online. I use to sell via Galleries, but I'm not extrovert enough and maybe this is the solution for me.

Question: I sold a Painting (original) for 1800 dollars some years ago. I don't remember if I told the buyer or gallery that I wouldn't sell copies/prints but I don't think so.

Would you offer such a painting on Fine-Art-America? Or would it be wrong without asking the buyer of the painting first?

DavidK:
Assuming you live in the US or Canada and at the time of sale did not explicitly sell or license your copyrights along with the piece then you can legally do whatever you wish. The question is more of an ethical one rather than legal. I would certainly ask the buyer if they have any objections, particularly if they might be future purchasers of your work.

Tlara:
Thank you David. I think you're right. I live in Europe. Maybe Fine-Art-America is the wrong place for me. I just thought it was the biggest site (most traffic)

I think that's right, not aware of any better site for your purpose.
However, by far the most buyers are from the US. Also you will benefit by doing your own marketing, as they don't do much. I do pick up occasional sales with no marketing at all; but some of the most successful sellers seem to have no searchable caption or keywords, they are just using FAA for fulfilment. Shipping can be pretty expensive.
