Chicago gallery owner and art dealer Dan Addington talks openly about the value of collecting original art. He’s answering key questions towards the end of the first video and into the second video. It starts out with: “how do you determine if a work is good work of art from an artist who is going places, or whether an artwork is just promoted today, but is likely to be gone tomorrow?” 1.

He applauds the policy of Nicholas Penny, the newly appointed director of the National Gallery in London, UK, to move towards ‘less attention to blockbuster temporary exhibitions and more emphasis on presenting the collection sympathetically’. Blockbusters are perhaps not where it’s at. However, temporary exhibits can be used... Read more »

I would like to reiterate my ‘warning’ posted at part 1 of the article: this is an unusual rant/rave article, that nonetheless gives an insight in the functioning of the art market. I therefore consider it relevant for publication. Personally I am neutral in the conflict. Further, this situation is now a few years old, and I will follow this article up with up-to-date information, when possible. Continuation of part 1 of the article by Gerard Van Weyenbergh: My investor, is in love with the painting, but still wants to have Sotheby’s and Christie’s opinion about the value of... Read more »

Paris Art Exhibitions
October 22, 2007
As a very frequent gallery & museum-goer myself, I am often intrigued how popular (or unpopular) certain fine art exhibits are. The article “Art for Art’s Sake (it’s All About Paris)” by Vasilisa (03-10-2007) gives a glimpse into what’s going on in the art world in Paris today. She particularly highlights the happenings in one of the prime galleries in town. “Let the numbers speak for themselves. In 1996 about 90,000 people visited Parisian galleries and antique trades. More than 13 million were recorded in museums. Paris is the capital of France and art as well.... Read more »
