Apparently not. Hire an interior decorator and tell him "eehh, put some-ting up on duh walls soo's it don't look so-so...beige". Just where did Ben Wasylyshen encounter most of these works and artists? On-line? In the mentioned galleries? How many just happen to be old friends? All wonderful questions.<br />The process of dealing directly with the artist with gallery representation is called "back-dooring" and it use to mean the artist was fired. The next question arises: why doesn't Ken Segal Gallery then drop Bruce Head's work like a hot rock? Mayberry and Segal (and other galleries) should embargo future PO's from Wasylyshen firm. I'm guessing that Winnipeg is so soft a market that contracts (if they exist) between galleries and even recognised artists are mostly ad-hoc or based on a handshake. Sad for Mayberry and Segal (and other galleries) that decorators can do an end-run around them and not bat a lash. Sad that no one, or so few, can make a full time living making (or selling) art in the province. A prophet is not without honour, save for her/his own country. ~mmondotrashohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09998442673403658550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11186098.post-39134662814717752022009-10-13T11:18:07.650-05:002009-10-13T11:18:07.650-05:00the only way this will happen is if that 1 percent...the only way this will happen is if that 1 percent rule is enforced by some kind of art police.<br /><br />good choice with Pokrant<br /><br />nice article morleyCaptainGoldStarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11519140037739711665noreply@blogger.com
