Changing the game.

When people talk about changing the game I always used to think, well what could you do differently, it’s the Art world it is what it is?

Yet the Art world over the last twenty five years has made some very big changes, especially now with the internet.

We have seen Galleries become less and less and loose their power as the gatekeepers.

We have seen the rise of the blockbuster Art fairs and that has eaten away at gallery sales.

We have seen the rise of small auction houses and this has a big impact on gallery sales.

We have seen social media free the Artist from dealers and galleries and they can now deal and sell directly with the public.

We have seen online galleries open up with unlimited wall space eat into brick and mortar gallery sales and other new innovations.

So the game really has changed and Artists are seeing themselves in charge of their careers.

Artists today can earn a great living selling their Art without ever showing in a gallery, this was unheard of when I started selling Art back in the 1970’s if you couldn’t get into a gallery and knew you never would, then you had to enter every Art competition and Art show going and hope for sales, but few collectors went to these shows.

The Art world has changed and Artists need to be seeking change.

What will change the game is actually changing the game.

Changing the experience of talking about you and your Art so radically, that people will choose to do it.
