12 Gallerists: 20 Questions
October 16th, 2009 § Leave a Comment
Having received no education at all about the art market at Goldsmiths Art College where she was studying, Sara Rowles, 22 year old Arts Entrepreneur and founder of Q-Art, decided to take it upon herself to publish a book called ’12 Gallerists: 20 Questions’ which seeks to de-mystify the world of contemporary art.
A series of questions are put by Sara to the gallerists in order that the interviewer and the reader, can develop an expanding knowledge of how contemporary art is evaluated in the market place.
Available at the Tate Modern & ICA bookshops and priced at just £10.00, 12 Gallerists: 20 Questions provides an invaluable and honest insight for any art student, amateur and professional alike, into the real workings of London’s Contemporary Art world. Well worth the read.
“Who values art? How is it valued? Who buys it? Who do gallerists sell to and how are prices decided upon? How are artists selected and how do they make the transition from art school, to the marketplace, to the museum? What’s the difference between the primary and secondary market? What types of gallery spaces exist and where does an artist start?” Sara Rowles
