The resale art biz is trucking along...two months strong and the foot traffic has increased greatly. This makes me very happy as it can feel awfully solemn sitting alone in a second floor gallery. And, can I just say...you get in via the buzzer to left of the front door - I'm not sure why it's so confusing for people to get in...I've got to work on that...our city just isn't used to second floor galleries.
One of the best bits of news to report is that the sales are happening. If you stopped in last month, you will be amazed at the change in artwork. I think about
half of the items we had up have moved on and are now replaced by even more newly-consigned works - good works, too.Six of my favorite new inventory items are:
1. Paul Horiuchi - a simple, yet lovely, monochromatic canyon landscape of collaged paper and paint
2. Guy Anderson - a large (and early) mixed media painting (third image down)
3. Mike Spafford - an excellent drawing from his popular Chimera series
4. Jenny Holzer - an electric LED sign with seven or her infamous "Truisms" (see it play in a Quicktime: Holzer). This piece was created as a Democratic fundraiser years ago. (last image)
5. Jennifer Bartlett - a colorful print from the famous Four Season suite (image at top)
6. Gregory Grennon - three great paintings (sized tiny to large in size) of redheaded women (image second from top)
And these are just a few of the new items...check out the website or, better yet, stop by the space and see them in person. I still am stunned at the diversity of the private collections in Seattle.
If you ever wanted to be a voyeur in Seattle collectors' homes...here's the chance to look openly...no "fly-on-the-wall" covert action necessary...it's on our walls, just step inside ArtRESource and see...it's intriguing, indeed.
