Comment on Musing on the Future of Art Journalism by John Viramontes - Council for Artists' Rights

much thanks Lindsay for offering this vid; based on the on-line question submitted to the panel, at least one person from Dallas Texas has watched it, so maybe Dallas will write a first article about Dallas wildflower artist Chapman Kelley and his Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990 case (2004 and pending) which is likely headed to the Supreme Court of the U.S. for resolution. Kelley has called Dallas home since 2006 and yet the media there won’t touch writing about his artists’ rights litigation..but the international press like the Art Newspaper has written FOUR articles, most recently in their print version April 2011. Is Kelley blacklisted in Dallas? Hard to argue otherwise!

Comment on Arrested Art Dealer Morse Ran Gallery in Salander’s Former Bedroom by T. Smith

Tom,
you are absolutely right, she is that person you know and trusted. She is a victim of her boss, a confessed liar, and convicted thief, and an overly aggressive DA, Vance, looking to made a media score with Robert Di Nero. If Robert hadn’t been involved, we wouldn’t be seeing any of this. She was a victim to the same fraud her boss perpetrated against his clients. As Robert said himself, he trusted Salander completely. She did too, unfortunately. Listen to the wording of this post, “dealing outfit”. One article said he was her accomplice. There is so much more to this than these slanted sound bites. Trust your own instincts and first hand experience, and wish her good luck.

Utilmately the value of art is what someone is prepared to pay for it. In these times of financial constraint it is difficult to explain how such values are justified appart outside of the affluent enthusiasts subset of society.

Thanks for an interesting piece of news. This is quite an achievement. I’m curious to know, were there any works “pre-sold”?

Comment on In-N-Out at Art Basel 2011 (Part II) by Vinga

And? What is so wrong in having new galleries in? Having the same galleries every year just because they have been there last year and not having the ones who’s art had never been seen in Art Basel, in my opinion would sound far worse than the other way around.
It’s about ART. Give people chance.
