As you may know, some of my fellow artist’s and me have got together and hired a stand at the Homes & Interiors exhibition in Glasgow. It’ a fairly expensive business hiring a stand and so there are eleven of us crammed into one 6 meter x 1 meter space. We would have loved a clean minimalist look but reality has dictated that it has to be the “boudoir” look!
It’s been fantastic to chat with so many people, if you have ventured along, thank you, it genuinely has been nice to meet so many of you.
Pricing artwork for this event has been a dilemma. As there is no gallery involved, many of the artists are slashing their prices. This is a dangerous game. It is certainly not my intention to undercut galleries and I have a great relationship with the galleries with whome I work (I still miss Park Gallery though!). So, brand new pieces were there or there abouts gallery price and some other pieces which have either been around a while or were unframed, I did apply some discount. What happens? People then haggle even more! I guess it’s just in the nature of people but it was beginning to feel like a bazaar in Marakesh.
It’s been great fun though and good to see so many galleries there too. Sunday 29th is the last day and I will be there for most of the afternoon, if you pass by, do say “hello”
