At Aicon Gallery, we take a personal approach to art and our Sales Associate’s passion for painting, installations and photography is the heart of our business. The relationships our sales associates cultivate with their clients are the primary reason for our industry-leading position as an authority on art from South Asia.
The company provides professional support for our Sales Associates with a full gallery staff of art world experts. We supply an extensive inventory, customer service, in-depth information on the art and the artists and authentication and warranty papers. All you supply is the talent and the drive.

After the introductory period, you will earn a commission plus the opportunity for bonus earnings. Our Sales Associates have a potential compensation range from $30,000 - $80,000+ per year based solely on performance. The key to success in this career is developing an art-solutions based relationship with our highly qualified customer base.
