Or to stroke her or the wine drinkers egos!<br /><br />Also it started to concentrate purely on conceptual art.<br /><br />I cancelled my subscription and was sad for the death of a good magazine.vivienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16820836660470146799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-23384135010922291002010-10-16T14:02:28.303+00:002010-10-16T14:02:28.303+00:00On the other hand if there were no galleries, muse...On the other hand if there were no galleries, museums and collectors there might be an awful lot of starving artists! ;)<br /><br />I think the things for me <i>(this is the Libran coming out!)</i> is that there needs to be a balance in all things<br /><br />Everybody is important - but I really don't think who's done the best deal on gallery space ever makes you the most influential! <br /><br />Over-inflated maybe...... ;)Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-35398083499889449932010-10-16T13:57:16.904+00:002010-10-16T13:57:16.904+00:00It's always interesting to read about who'...It's always interesting to read about who's influential and ground breaking in the art world...

Also manufacturers of art materials, plus art teachers and artist's models. These are foundational. There would be no art without them, and therefore no galleries, museums, or collectors.<br /><br />When artists step into the studio, or open a sketchbook or go out on a plein air excursion, they are creating their own world. There is nothing more influential that that.Theresa Taylor Bayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00886143448221324175noreply@blogger.com
