Funny things are happening in the art world right now. Records are being set at all the high end auction houses. Last week in Reno for instance I was trying to buy the following Maynard Dixon watercolor 10x8 inches. Estimate was $10,000. It brought $52,000. No I did not get it. This Norman Rockwell brought $4.2 Million. Sort of amazing for a picture with a limited audience.
My take is that lots of big money is shifting into fine art because everybody knows the economy is going to tank big time. Our big show this month, Maynard Dixon Country already has 200 RSVP's. Artists of this type seem to be coming on strong. Hope we do well this year as the last four have not been good.
