While I would tend to agree with these suggestions, 16" between hanging
wall art might be a luxury. For example, a horizontal 16x20 plus the
16" would be three feet of wall space. In a small gallery you could
run out of wall space very quickly. It would be nice to have that much
space, but I think you can get by will less.

Recently, on PhotoForum, there was a discussion about hanging art for
an exhibit.
Here are some suggestions I received from someone who has a very long
list of accomplishments in the world of art. I just thought I'd pass
them along.

Here are a few ideas for displaying your art at your show.
a.. Center of all hanging art to be at a particular height (60"-63")
b.. All wall art framed or have clean finished edges (no staple
canvas edges showing)
c.. No stacked art unless painted in a series to be sold as one piece
(triptych, etc)
d.. At least 16" between hanging wall art
e.. Name, title tags, lower right hand corner (set a number of inches)
f.. Sculpture on pedestals not blocking hanging art
g.. Groupings of art, have a sense of symetry and logical order in
regards to height, widths, concepts
