If its not too nosey, can I ask how much you are selling them for? Are they in your own gallery or are you using someone elses space?
I have no idea about the market in New York, but I found it pretty difficult in Michigan when I tried there a few years back. Lots of interest, but no takers until I slashed prices to 1/3 of what I could get for the same works at home. It really wasnt worth the effort.
As far as selling here, I sell most of my work directly rather than dealing with galleries (I only use 1 or 2 galleries and then only for work that hasnt moved for a while). I find that customers like to meet the artist and the galleries take most of the profit.
Selling at art markets and from my own worshop has been the easiest and most profitable. I think the key is to be present in the same place reguarly and to have a constantly changing display. After a while, people will seek you out.
good luck
Peter
