If the artist has a website, other online listings of their artwork, or is represented at other galleries/gallery websites, their prices must be consistent with the prices in the StoveFactory Gallery (ie, a piece shown in the StoveFactory Gallery that is also shown online elsewhere must be marked at same price).
