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!

 

PS If going to you might be intrigued in looking at the Lubaina Humid exhibition subsequent door at Tate Modern – which also finishes on 2nd October.
