Galleries

I have a friend who owns a gallery and he readily admits that all he knows about art is that if he looks at a piece and feels as if he could produce it then he knows it's not good. That's it.

He is in the businesss to make money and he does that by knowing his customer base and providing the type of art and services that they want.

If he could make money by representing portrait artists, he would be doing just that. He sells a lot of Bob Timberlake and similar type works, some originals but mostly signed and numbered prints. Not a high end shop.

He does have a couple of my portraits on display but they just don't generate the interest.
