Things are tough for art galleries and The New York Times chronicles the shift
to
a
market that favors collectors vs speculators. When I was in New York last
March I noticed a vulnerability I've not noticed before... frankly this might
be a good thing because though the art market boomed during the past 7 years
it has produced little art of consequence. At least Portland galleries have
lower rents and aren't used to selling unknown artists for 10K+.
Edward Winkleman discussed the NYT's gallery woes article from his own
very
personal angle.

Bruce Nauman surprised no one by being top of the heap.
Jerry Saltz
discusses
how a phase of art that is dying in Venice might be a good thing.
