Buyers, Sellers & King-Makers

Picasso Still Seems To Be 'King' 

(King of the merchant class, that is.)




Serious art collectors live in a different reality — ridiculous to most of us and ridiculed by many  
Art collecting is similar to music and sports, with Alex Rodriguez getting $28million for catching a baseball and Keith Richards with a net worth of $280million. Equally ridiculous.  
Whatever you might think of Picasso's work and how much it currently sells for, the fact that artists are still emulating him and the super-rich collecting him, speaks for itself.  
No matter how high an artist may climb, we are still subject to the rules of 'class'. Even when an artist makes it into world-class status, artists are still a part of the merchant class — providing services to the ruling class.  
As much as things change, they do seem to remain the same.







My advice, since you asked:

Artist unknown.

Forbes: Top Selling Artists at Auction in First Quarter: Picasso, Richter, Miró  Over 2,700 of [Picasso's] artworks changed hands at auction last year, while 645 of his works sold in the last quarter, according to artnet.

Switching To Google+

5|21|13 UPDATE

I've recently made the decision to engage more fully on Google+.

Compared to Facebook, there's no comparison! 


Since engaging 'over there', the growth of Galri Montaj Contemporary Art has been astounding!   
The site had been stalled at 97 G+ clicks for weeks. Since becoming active on Google Plus, the numbers have jumped dramatically!  [652 as of 3|10|13] [1.8K and counting as of 5|21|13. That's a TRIPLE jump in two months!] 
The point? 
The higher the clicks, the higher your site ranks for SEO.  
Compare Galri Montaj on Facebook and Galri Montaj on Google+
Google+ clicks are climbing daily; currently at 788 — again, in only 6 weeks we have outpaced Facebook by almost 2 to 1. [2,160 on 5|21|13]  
Galri Montaj was launched on Facebook in May of 2012. After a first flush with satisfactory growth, our following on FB stalled at 533 Likes and is stalled again at 621, following a push to get our numbers up to the modest goal of 700. Frankly, it just doesn't feel worth the effort, any more.
Is there any question why people are bailing from Facebook? 
Since instituting 'Promoted Posts', Facebook has become steadily less effective for small businesses — and increasingly frustrating. 
And, then there's the truly awful reality that Facebook is now posting on your behalf, without your knowledge, in support of big corporations. They even hijack users' comment threads to push their advertisers, again, without disclosing it to the user. 
I keep hoping that there will be a massive jump-ship, and in truth, more people are leaving every day.
My G+ sites, in case you want to look me up:

I've not been nearly as active with FlairCreativ Presents on G+, and the numbers show it. But with the positive response to Galri Montaj, I have no doubt that the same will be true for FCP, once I get the ball rolling.    
One frustration with G+ is that they still haven't rolled out their promised dedicated URLs. Currently, they are long and quite geeky. 
The other frustration (under the heading of 'Too Much Of A Good Thing') is that there's so much substantive content on Google+, that it's nearly impossible to stay current with every interest. 
The good news: 
You can hop in and out of discussions as the mood strikes, and as time and attention will allow, without feeling as if you've missed the boat.
Additionally, I'm just now getting to know a few people. With Facebook, I have a solid circle of friends and supporters. I still check in once or twice a day, but can feel a definite shift in loyalty toward G+ building daily. 
So, if you're weary of standing still professionally (and tired of cute kitten videos, although there are still plenty on G+), I encourage you to make the switch!   
Google+ is the place to be!




Here's a helpful link for those contemplating making the switch:

Stuck? Stalled? Stymied?



We all feel 'stuck' from time to time. 
When I find myself pacing back and forth in a metaphorical rut, my solution is to take a break — and then take action.
How you choose to relax and regroup depends on your temperament. 
A quick fix for me is to simply step outside and observe nature for 10-15 minutes, followed by a few stretches to loosen me up. There are more comprehensive approaches, but this is a good one for breaking through a minor case of 'stuckness'.

 Take Action 
Likewise, it doesn't much matter which actions you choose to get things moving. It can be as simple as rearranging the living room or pruning your roses. Anything that takes your mind off the current dilemma will give the subconscious the freedom to roam and come up with a solution on its own. 
If you prefer a more straight-forward approach, I've found that making a list can also do the trick, starting with your goal and adding action steps to attain it. Again, this works best after a little R&R — in fact, it's essential.


Reset Your Intention
Specifically, the issue of being stuck professionally comes to mind, and being stalled at a particular juncture in your professional life. 
My experience is that this invariably signals exponential growth in the near future, but first you must do what's necessary to create the space in your life that will allow this to happen.
Step one: Relax and stop pushing.
Step two: Breathe, and trust that this is a good sign.
Step three: Create the space you need to reset your intention
and create proactive solutions.


Now is the perfect time to update your presentation.
