    12:09 "So don't think too much about the sales. Think about the quality of the exhibition first and the sales will follow." Sage advice and right before my scheduled exhibition, thank you!
  • …. And… I clearly remember the moment in my life where it did seem that looking at the little labels next to the artwork were drawing me in so much. I decided to stop reading them first off… noticing kinda how funny it was to watch others reading the labels so much. They rarely are of appropriate quality and design to flatter each work. Isn’t there a painting in history illustrating this phenomenon… ? We get spoon fed so much information already. … I am grateful to get this insight here.
  • @musicalBurr
    Here’s a tip: Don’t spill wine on the first person who ever buys one of your paintings. Try not to get too excited and wave your arms sending the contents of your wine glass onto the arm of the nice lady who bought your diptych.
  • @danielhulme432
    As a passionate art collector I love labels on art works. Price, title, artist name and date of completion are basics I expect when looking at work.
  • @martinmurphyart
    Personally I find it frustrating when art has no information label next to it. What could possibly be the benefit of having to memorize the list on the wall and match the information to the art at the other end of the room? I just had a show where the gallery didn't use labels but had a list on the wall near the back of the gallery. No one at the opening knew what piece corresponded to what information on the list. Crazy to me.
  • @cdronk
    I'm impressed by this content. Your advice may seem obvious, but there are things you brought up that I've overlooked on my previous exhibitions. Even the smallest of details matter. Kudos.
  • Wonderful as always so much needed information. The work must be respected. That the viewer perceives this is of great importance. All the things said here support that effort.
  • @DavidH-yr6uj
    Awesome advice! I have my first solo show in July at Pleiades Gallery, in Chelsea NYC, and I intend to follow all of your information here. Thanks for posting.
