Ron Grauer asks: Is there a standard form for an artist/gallery agreement?…Or even a composite group of choices for such an agreement? Artists Equity used to offer such an animal but that was long ago. I’ve tried a few of my own but never have had one signed. Surely I’m not the only artist in […]

Need to catch up on what’s happening in the museum world? It’s the annual Special Section: Museums from the New York Times. I, of course, am always interested in another article on the "dizzying" spaces of the Libeskind addition to the Denver Art Museum. There’s also an article about the new Grand Rapids Art Museum,

I landed in Seattle yesterday morning at about 10 a.m. Guess what? It was raining! But I found my way to the Bellevue Arts Museum and really enjoyed it.

I made a quick trip to Austin with my husband. As a UT art-history alum, it’s kind of like coming home, although I never felt at home in this heat. It’s more fun to come down these days because my dear friend and former museum colleague, Brian, is here working at the new Blanton Museum

“If you want to make it as an artist, go to every gallery opening that you’re invited to. Get there at the beginning and stay until the end.” –Ivan Karp (OK Harris Gallery, NYC) as quoted in Richard Polsky, I Bought Andy Warhol (p. 134)
Oh, what I would give for a ticket to London right now! I’ve been reading about “Rebels and Martyrs: The Image of the Artist in the 19th Century,” an exhibit at the National Gallery in London through Aug. 28. Alan Riding begins his New York Times review with this: “When exactly did artists decide that
