Mr. Auction Vendetta
I’ve been characterized by names (both good, and bad), but now I have been “recognized” by colleagues for my observations and opinions on how the auction process works in the art and antiques industry. Perhaps I should also have the additional titles of Mr. Antiques Show Vendetta and Mr. Dealer Vendetta. My criticism and comments […]

Pragmatism and World Peace…By Clinton Howell
“Do you dream?” I asked my chair the other morning. “I am a chair, what would I dream about? Chairs don’t dream. We also don’t sleep.” “Yes, and I didn’t think they talked until you started talking. Why wouldn’t you dream?” “The only thing I would dream about is being in an environment that had […]

Exaggeration and Selling…By Clinton Howell
Mark Bittman wrote a piece for the New York Times on-line edition about exaggeration. He was referencing the arguments and accusations that are swirling around the food business, from the overuses of sugar, salt and fat, the marketing of such products, the genetically engineered products that can resist Round Up and so on. The arguments […]

I wanted to share with everyone a letter I received on this topic (click here to read the ‘free admission to galleries and auctions, why not fairs?’ article): ”I think I may be out of place here, as a senior year college student. I found your article on the AAD website. I was poking around […]
Notoriety…by Lawrence Klepper
Doing business the hard way: Price, Value, Cost, and Expense. I was teaching a Saturday Drawing course at a well-known Southern California Art Center.
