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…

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…

19 What in the Gallery Is Telling Them Not to Buy from You? – Guest Richard Perry, Part II
How about this for a show tease? An Andy Warhol painting changes the lives of a civil servant’s family forever, Dali’s pet ocelot gets out of control, and the chance encounter of a 19 year old and a famous eccentric millionaire made gallery history in Las Vegas.

18 “I Demand Complete Loyalty” from the Collector – Guest Dewey Graff
From day one, it was a goal of the show to talk as many different types of art sellers as we could get on the mic—from art consultants working the floor of a mall gallery to the jet set industry movers who make headlines. Which certainly includes the art brokers who find their own place…
