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…

25. Galleries pricing art by the keystone rule and other fun ways to lose a business.
YES, we’ve returned to our corner booth at the ol’ art dealer bar and we have a new episode of the Art Dealer Show show for you. Even though the break went much longer than I expected, it did not go to waste — during that time I gave the show many new tweaks. All…

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.

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…

12 Art gallery owner Thad Markham Pt II: Why killing to join a gang is like selling art?
Are you ready for the first Art Dealer Show of the New Year? We are back with part II of my conversation with Thad Markham, the owner of Artifacts Gallery in Cambria, California and the designer/publisher of Out Of The Bowl. Last time Thad and I talked a lot about the path he took to…

11 Bridgette Mayer: A Personal Tale Of Survival and Redemption
Many are calling 2016 a year of loss. If it was not a presidential candidate for you, it was at least Prince, Bowie and of course Leonard Cohen. As much as I’m personally saddened by our loss of them and many others, I am grateful for at least one thing–I got to launch The Art…

10 Tony Pernicone – An Odyssey in the Art Business.
I’ve alway been fond of the cautionary words from an unknown sage – “choose your profession before it chooses you.” These sobering words used to guid me as much as keep me up all night staring at the ceiling. This week those words of wisdom have once again found their way back in to my…

8 – “Buying a painting is like acquiring a relationship” – Guest Theron Kabrich
It’s our first October episode of the Art Dealer Show. Which means in keeping of my 1970’s understanding of programing, we have the obligatory scary story. At least one that will send a shiver down the spines of gallery folk. In this week’s episode, we continue with part two of our conversation with Theron Kabrich,…
