Great Group Show - Online or Off

Deborah Kass, I am Telling You I'm Not Going (diptych), 2002, gouache on paper

Schroeder Romero Gallery has done a fabulous job allowing you to see most of the works in their current show on their website. Bravo! So even if you aren't in New York, you can peruse what is hanging in their gallery. 

Why can't all galleries do this? Most already have websites. Most have images of the works or can take digital snaps of the work after they are installed. If I were able to peruse shows in other cities on the web, I know I would be collecting more art from more galleries in more cities. Prices, too, should be posted on gallery websites. Most (almost all) don't provide prices. Very curious. What's the big secret? The time has come for galleries to put tools (images, prices, shipping policies, payment plans, return policies, etc.) on their site to help broaden their collecting audience!

Anyway, check out this show - whether you are in your living room or in NYC.

It because galleries seem to view themselves a step above normal retail stores when in fact, that is all they are, a shop.

I remember being an art student in London, in the 70's (that is a long time ago!)and being scare silly of the art galleries in the West End. They were mysterious places where only the rich and plummy voiced females who looked down their noses at anyone showing an interest in art inhabited.

Being older(but none the wiser)on a visit to London year or so back, I revisited the area. It was no different, same people and same locks on doors.
