Income
1 comment I would make is that this exhibition has NOT sold as several as I assume it could and ought to have completed.
I think there may well be 3 causes for this
- the Version dimension is not observed on the label subsequent to the print – and I hardly ever ever obtain a unframed print devoid of figuring out what the edition dimensions is (The data is readily available – it’s just not there to seize the instant when somebody is interested!)
- I have not observed a lot of marketing and advertising for the exhibition – and there are incredibly couple social media posts about it.
- which is in aspect down to artists not earning the effort and hard work to market place their do the job both! Gail Brodholt’s publish is an isolated contribution!
