<p>If you doubt it, look at all the media coverage at the Art auctions. Hmmmm?. If it's a matter of supply and demand I guess the demand has been satiated for a while. 360K for a photo? absurd. I hope they sell a lot of em. I had a brick from Carnegie Hall I picked up on the street when they did the renovation many years ago. I gave it away. </p>

I agree that the art industry has not been heavily impacted by the recession, especially compared to other areas of business.</p>
<p>One of the reasons for this may be that artists and galleries are moving their work online and becoming more efficient by utilizing technology and software, like Masterpiece Solutions and our currently converted Masterpiece Online gallery. (www.masterpieceonline.com)</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

Having only four galleries close is not as big of a deal that they seem to think it is. Yes, it's not a good thing, but think of how many business have gone under already! Although I'm in Indy for school, my family is from Elkhart, IN and (apparently) it is one of the poorest cities right now. It's a HUGE RV industry and all of those are just suffering, assuming they are even still around. Four art galleries closing is almost nothing compared to a whole city going down. And having to lower overly priced art is not much to complain about. I never fully realized how expensive art can sell for, but I for one approve of the lowering prices! Maybe if they have to lower their prices down to a reasonable price, more people would be able to buy and enjoy the art. If an artist wants to share their work shouldn't they be making it more affordable anyway?</p>oil painting commented on 'Yet another "news" story about NYC Art Gallery Closings...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451694c69e201053721f2c8970b2009-02-12T07:04:11Z2009-02-12T07:04:12Zoil paintinghttp://www.art-ych.comlike your article very much.<p>like your article very much.</p>Lisa Hunter commented on 'Yet another "news" story about NYC Art Gallery Closings...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451694c69e20111684e28ec970c2009-02-06T17:36:12Z2009-02-06T17:36:12ZLisa Hunterhttp://howtobuyart.blogspot.comI think the article's too anecdotal to be a good trend piece.

That price for a Sugimoto is bonkers. I don't know how else to describe it. And (not to discrespect anyone's hard work in the art world) but I think we need to see quite a few more galleries close before things start to get better.</p>Matthew commented on 'Yet another "news" story about NYC Art Gallery Closings...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451694c69e20105370b0ab9970b2009-02-04T04:07:53Z2009-02-04T04:07:53ZMatthewI love Sugimoto's work and while I knew the gagosian prints were going to be out of my league I...<p> I love Sugimoto's work and while I knew the gagosian prints were going to be out of my league I was left breathless when the desk clerk told me their price. Am curious if following Apple's lead, gagosian will be partially refunding the price difference to those clients that had already purchased the higher priced prints.</p>ArtOldSpice commented on 'Yet another "news" story about NYC Art Gallery Closings...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451694c69e201116844915d970c2009-02-04T00:53:38Z2009-02-04T00:53:38ZArtOldSpiceReporters have a narrative to tell, so they find whatever evidence to fit the story.

If the writer had a bias in favor of the art market, she could have fashioned an equally persuasive story on just the galleries that are doing really well and not closing. The gist: trust your own eyes and ears...and even then be skeptical.</p>Brian commented on 'Yet another "news" story about NYC Art Gallery Closings...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451694c69e2011168441b38970c2009-02-03T22:26:55Z2009-02-03T22:26:55ZBrianThose of us in the artwork all know of well more than four galleries that have closed since last fall....<p>Those of us in the artwork all know of well more than four galleries that have closed since last fall.
