29. A Show About Selling Art…Now?
What should a podcast about selling art be in a moment where so little of that is happening? Do we carry on as normal? Or maybe even attempt to answer the questions about how to survive in the present and adapt to the coming future? These are the questions I’ve asked for months. And then…

28. Right Time, Right Art. Guest David Fahey – Fahey Klein Gallery.
In the late 1980’s I crashed an art opening on Le Brea Blvd. in Los Angeles. I was an art student and yes, it was partly to make a meal out of cheese and crackers and to get some white wine cheer on. But it was also to see one of my new favorite photographers…

27. “Looking for weird people creating weird things” – Guest Ruth Ann Thorn – The other half.
We are finally back with the second half of our conversation with San Diego gallerist Ruth Ann Thorn (Exclusive Collections). And maybe being a year and a half later you have concluded that the reason for the wait is because the second half was just more of the same. And if that’s you, prepare to…

If you listened to Part One of our conversation with San Francisco Art Exchange’s co-owner Jim Hartley, I’m sure you have been eagerly waiting this episode.

23 How the Iranian Revolution Started a Storied Career in Art. – Guest Jim Hartley Pt. 1
For such a down-to-earth guy, our guest Jim Hartley has had quite a glitzy career in the art biz. Jim, along with his partner (and past guest) Theron Kabrich, have owned the San Francisco Art Exchange for about thirty years.

22 Everything I Needed to Know About Art Dealing I Learned in Kindergarten – Guest Alex Salazar Pt 2.
It’s been a while but I’m back and comfortably settled in my usual corner booth at the ol’ art dealer bar. Having been away for a bit, there’s a lot bouncing around in my head. First up is something most of us can relate to: It’s a story about an art gallery which I sell…

21 Are Millennials Not Buying Art, Or Just Not From You? – Guest Ruth-Ann Thorn Pt 1
To be a seasoned art dealer is to have taken some knocks over the years. There’s just no way around it. Stay in the business beyond the length of a college internship and you’re going to get some scrapes on your skin and soul. Slide back the cuffs and hems of the designer suits and…
