Art Gone
Yesterday we had to make a sudden trip to Kenosha. Candace called me on Thursday--the piece I had at the Anderson Art Show 10th Anniversary show sold, and the buyer wanted to take it with him right away as it was a birthday gift for his wife. Candace asked me to substitute another one of mine if I'd like. These pieces are brand new, and I didn't even have time to take pictures of them...not just slides, but not even pictures. This is typical...seems like if I don't slide a piece it will sell, whereas pieces I have a gazillion slides of haven't sold. Which is ironic, because usually what makes me decide to hold on to a piece and slide it before I exhibit it is because I want a permanent record of it, whereas the ones I'm lackadaisical about documenting are ones that I don't think are as strong. Which means the public likes the ones I don't feel are strong pieces, but doesn't appreciate the ones I really love. Typical. Kinda like my taste in music, too. Heh. As we arrived at the place, an old guy was pulling out of the parking spot we wanted. I had no idea who it was. When we got there, Candace told me that we had just missed the buyer...he had put my piece in his trunk and left. My piece is gone...I have no record of it and I'll never see it again.
