Lianes studio chair... which evoked memories of this chair at the Art Hub Gallery.
Had lunch with lovely Liane yesterday (here she is in the studio) and very good it was too. Shes a hard worker with a lovely mind :) Her Israeli dealers have introduced the idea of producing work that even an artist can afford, specifically the creator artist oneself, as a challenge to the overtly capitalistic model of the art market. Given that I'm flogging drawings at 50 quid, this was a fine resonance.
She'd just packed up a load of work to go to Berlin for a museum show - really enjoy her direction, dealing with monuments of the past and seriously tempted to buy one of her small (cheap) pieces. If I sell anymore drawings I will.
Its been good, having the opportunity to talk with artists. The ones that work at the Art Hub are good too though they all have part time jobs to fund their studios which dilutes the quality of the work. Thats my experience anyway, perhaps its not the same for others.
Nearly, nearly, time to go home and back to work...
