Focus on Art and Artists

Recently I received feedback that some people would like to read more about my opinions on art, and less about the business of moving and running a gallery.  (For those of my friends interested in the nitty gritty of the business, you'll just have to be satisfied with my occasional Facebook posts on the topic.  :-) 


So, in the next few weeks I'll talk more about some of the art I like and the artists we represent, how we find and discover new artists, and how we work to build a consistent program and stable of artists that demonstrate our vision for the gallery.  


I've also been meaning to review a few books on the art world.  And now I have more motivation to actually sit down and read those books.  The first will be I Bought Andy Warhol, followed by I Sold Andy Warhol (Too Soon), and then finally The $12 Million Stuffed Shark: The Curious Economics of Contemporary Art.  Let me know if you have other suggestions of books to read.


But for now, I'm going to put down my regular science fiction and get busy reading up on the arts!


Cheers!
