Art League Talk Today
One of the things that I notice consistently is how common an artist's poor presentation skills (for their artwork) is; and the worst offenders are often experienced art professors.
Acidic mats, fragile work backed by corrugated cardboard, hand-cut mats, scratched frames, scratched plexi, kitschy frames, colored mats, dirty mats, huge signatures, unsigned works... you name it and every gallerist has seen it.
So the Art League asked me a while back to give a presentation on... presentation.
It will take place today at the Art League Gallery in Alexandria.
Call them for details at 703/683-1780.
Hurry!
