I live in California, and don't get to NY as much as I would like. Thank you for what you write. I always find it refreshing. Thank you for your posts about NY, and the NY art scene.

]]> Comment on Galleries on Lower East Side by John Monteiro http://kathrynmarkel.wordpress.com/2009/05/13/247/#comment-49 John Monteiro Fri, 15 May 2009 20:56:45 +0000 http://kathrynmarkel.wordpress.com/?p=247#comment-49 Thank you so much for the insightful information. I'm currently looking for a new gallery in Manhattan and the "lower east side" sounds appealing. There is one thing that bothers me though and thats the talk about "young artist". What about men and women that have spent their lives working to get the recognition that most of them deserve. There are many older gallery owners that have worked extremly hard to promote their artist; nobody mentions their ages. Over the many years that I've been creating art, my collectors tell me that they feel comfortable with me because I've established a visible track record. I've spent years in artist cooperatives and sold many works, but not as many as a commercial gallery would have sold. Please let me Know what you think of my work and please keep the great communication going. Thank you so much for the insightful information. I’m currently looking for

It stinks though. Btw, shouldn’t it be “Richard Prince and Me” — or am I being too anal?

It is known to be his work, whether or not he chooses to authenticate it. He isn't the first to toy with the notion of what determines 'value' and he won't be the last.

French law states clearly : "" l'auteur ne peut exercer son droit de repentir qu'à charge d'indemniser préalablement le cessionnaire du préjudice " Thank you for keeping me in the loop, dear Kathryn, Lise By the way, when RP refused to give Michael Lobel permission to reproduce his early works in the catalogue for the Fugitive Artist exhibit in 2007, he (RP),in fact, admitted he was the author of these works.

If he represents a work as something he has authored and receives money for it based, in part, on that fact, then takes overt action to devalue it, doesn’t that violate laws governing business practice? Isn’t he setting himself up for huge legal troubles? Prince’s actions bring up a host of ethical and legal issues relating to commerce.

Or if one does purchase, enjoy and understand that you are buying into his trickery as an integral part of his "art process."

On a serious note, the more his egregious behavior is publicized, perhaps the questions you raise will bring about some thoughtful responses. I certainly hope so! Dear Kathy,
