Any kind of agreement is better than no agreement. Most stores will
put the burden of insuring your work against damage and theft on you.
I did call my insurance agent about this a year ago, but since the
inventory was constantly changing, it was hard for them to give me
costs. I ended up taking the risk, and so far have had a couple of
small frames damaged, that's all.
The galleries that I am in all have different contracts, some lengthy
and legal, some more informal.
Alison's comment about going out of business is a good one if the
contract is open-ended, and a distance from you. Most of my gallery
work is close to home, so it has not been as big an issue.
