what kind of range is $8.50 - $45.00? i've worked as an installer, early in my career for some major blue chip galleries during the height of the eighties. i think a fair and realistic 'range' for an hourly rate today, for a general installation, would be $12.50-$17.50 an hour (and i stress the word general.) this all depends on what is being installed. if you are talking richard serra, double that amount. that is a range. james linza managing director thegentry.com project for contemporary art Homepage: http://www.thegentry.com E-mail: [log in to unmask] Telephone: 561/301-2474 Text Messaging: [log in to unmask] Snail mail: P.O.
