Wake effects
When a ship moves across the water, depending on a variety of factors, it leaves a wake that can be discernible, in some manner or form, for a very long time and through a very long distance.
Doing an art fair is the same, and art fair wake effects can sometimes take over a year to settle down.
At the recent (e)merge art fair, my Virginia dealer, Mayer Fine Art (who did really well at the fair), sold my top piece in the room - an embedded video piece - to a very well-known DMV area art collector couple.
The wake effect from that sale just reached me, as I am now in the process of closing a sale with another art collecting couple (not a DMV area collector), who saw that work at the home of the buyers, inquired about it, got a glowing recommendation and now I am about to be acquired by someone on the list of the top 200 art collectors in the world.
In case you are wondering: yes... I am bragging and thanks USS (e)merge!
reminds me of back when I was getting my pilot's license...we flew over the Chesapeake Bay...and it amazed me how the wakes from even small boats spread across pretty much the entire bay...you wouldn't have noticed it from the water, but from above it was obvious
ReplyDeleteGlad to have helped to make a second sale for you! And thanks for all the background material on the video drawing!
