ABMB Week review
Just published! Check out my review (at Eclat International magazine) of the last Art Basel week, with a focus on LA galleries! A giant thanks to über collector Ardis Bartle, who did most of the walking. Photos by L.B. Konopinski.

Debate: Should Art Galleries Split Commissions?
I recently received an email from an artist who ran into a bit of a dilemma (or at least she thought she did). She had been showing a piece of art in a gallery in her home town for a number of months. When the piece didn’t sell, she rotated the piece, along with several others, to a gallery out of town. A short time later, she received a call from the first gallery saying that a client had come in and was interested in purchasing this particular piece of art and wondered if it was still available.
The artist’s question to me was, “What should I do if the piece sells through the first gallery? Should I pay the second gallery part of the commission since it is now in their possession? How do I handle the situation without stepping on anyone’s toes?”Read the whole thing here.
