I absolutely would listen to you two for 3 more hours– really interesting episodes-I would love to see an Alyson Stanfield art history club

The story about the wind throwing her catalog down — there could be a movie just about such bad behavior…I actually read something online your other day that talked about how artists can get gallery representation by taking their work or portfolios into gallery and I wondered on what planet the writer of that came from to think that was a good idea

I really loved how there was a bigger picture woven into this they see their roll in the art world and people’s lives that goes beyond immediate transactions

This is my favorite episode ever! Thank you , Allyson Stanfield and Jeremy Tessmer for discussing art, art history, the nature of art galleries and the long game of an artist’s career. I especially liked his phrase ““One of the biggest thrills in the art world is connecting to another human being.” This sums up exactly how I feel. My own art strives to connect with people and is not a success unless the it touches the heart of the viewer. How refreshing it was to hear Jeremy talk about this topic!
Thank you , Jeremy and Allyson, for sharing your lives, knowledge and wisdom.
Should you decide to both work together again, I will be listening!

In reply to Cassandra Tondro.

Cassandra: I guess you could read it that way, but I think it’s just a reflection of the way life is. We pay attention to the people we know and like. We trust their judgment. To me, it’s like if you were looking for a plumber. When many of them are so similar, (as, let’s face it, many artists are) I’m probably going to pay attention to the one my neighbor recommended. I could take an artist at face value. “I love that work.” But hearing that other people like working with that artist puts it on another level for me.

I was thinking some more about what Jeremy said about how he finds new artists, and that he takes seriously recommendations from the artists he already represents. The implication for those of us who are artists is that it’s who you know, and not the quality of your work. And doesn’t that lead to what we’ve seen historically — an “Old Boy’s Network?”
