(a) An art dealer may accept a work of art on a fee, commission, or other compensation basis on consignment from the artist who created the work of art only if prior to or at the time of acceptance the art dealer enters into a written contract with the artist establishing:

(1) The value of the work of art;

(2) The time within which the proceeds of the sale are to be paid to the artist if the work of art is sold; and

(3) The minimum price for the sale of the work of art.
