Work like this shows that the film isn't obsolete and that it can be used in an artistic way nonetheless. It would be interesting to see what his accumulation of male models and polaroids comes out as! Maybe he and Vanessa Beecroft could do a type of collaboration.

Prices were as high or higher than at the peak. There's just no rush to buy anything at that point unless it's one of the best pieces that artist has to offer.

<p>One painter I had a passing interest in who graduated from columbia about 6 months ago and who has only a single group show to his name as far as serious shows go and still not officially represented was being sold (or going unsold) for 12k for a small to medium canvas by hot ny dealer. Did I get caught in a time warp back to 2007? Uh, no thanks. Maybe in a couple years if his career progresses well. </p>
