Art gallery contract
The gallery is asking for the **droit de première vue ** of an artist's work produced in his studio. Does this mean simply the right to first viewing? or does it mean first refusal? The context is that the gallery will represent the artist and have exclusivity for representing and exhibiting the artist within a certain geographical area. However, the artist's studio is not situated within that area.

to be entitled to a (sneak) preview of his work
in the context 'sneak' is perhaps a bit idiomatic
Note from asker:
| Thanks, but - this would be a proper relationship between the artist and gallery, nothing **sneaky** about it. Not sure **preview** as artists generally show work in their studios to invitees. |
