2011 has brought some great changes, one of them is that I am today on my 13 year of business. This past week I came across this article written by Randy Slavin, from Art Business News;

"Galleries and Publishers that were the most highly addicted to easy money failed during the recession, primarily because they couldn't adapt to the lack of it. Those of us who remain are here because we were able to adapt and buckle down to the exceptionally difficult business of selling art.

Our industry has been changed by the recession, and will continue to change throughout the recovery. Gallery owners now need to be exceptional business people, sales consultants now need to be exceptional sales people, artists now need to be exceptional creators and so forth. Mediocrity is no longer viable; being "good enough" is no longer sufficient.
We all need to strive for true excellence in our assorted tasks. We all need to return to the hard work that is necessary to survive and thrive in the business of art. Combine that with the slow, but inevitable, recovery and newfound stores of patience and we'll come out of this with stronger healthier businesses and a stronger, healthier industry".
