ARTISTS’ MULTIPLE GENRES
AN ASSET TO GALLERIES
To keep people coming back, gallery owners have learned that
offering a diverse array of products and services opens the
door to new foot traffic and can cast a larger net for attracting
new customers. But what gallery owners may have missed
is that some artists are also using this strategy in their
own artwork, creating pieces new art buyers. The key to

Framing: Which
Mouldings to Carry?
Martin Lawrence Galleries,
Las Vegas, holds its third annual “The Art of Imagining”
event featuring unveilings, the
debut of work by a new artist,
and lots of entertainment.
Steve Alpert has created
“Journey of Souls,” a painting based on photographs
taken by Sgt. Paul Dargan of
a memorial for fallen soldiers
45 years ago in Vietnam.
As fall is typically when many
framing manufacturers release new mouldings, we
speak with custom framers
about how they choose from
the many new designs.

happy employees make
profitable companies. To
prove the point, dozens of
articles appear in the business press painting pictures

reads, “Twitter employees

culture in the store, gallery,
and frameshop matter immensely. It is that which
pulses through the veins of
each employee and ultimately
finds its way to the mind and
heart of a customer.
A positive culture often becomes the underpinning of
why clients are either lost or
retained. It’s really a fact of
human nature—people seek
out the situations, opportunities, and people that most accommodate them. A cheerful
greeting, a smile, and a pleasant disposition among the
staff in a gallery or frameshop
goes a long way toward making a sale.

ARNOT GALLERIES
OFFERING COMPLETE
ARTIST COLLECTIONS
TO GALLERIES
NEW YORK—Arnot
Galleries is now selling complete collections of paintings
by deceased and retired
artists to galleries who want
to represent those artists exclusively. “Many times a
gallery that has purchased an
artist throughout that artist’s
career asks if there is a possibility of taking over ‘representation’ after the artist either
passes away or retires,” says
Vicki Arnot, co-owner of Arnot
Galleries, representative of
the work of some 200 artists,
living and deceased.
“We have been getting more
and more of these requests
and began honoring them this
past summer. The two ‘perks’
for the gallery taking on a
complete collection which we
purchased during the life of
the artist is exclusivity for that
gallery for the artist’s paintings, and special price consideration when the collection
is purchased from our gallery
in its entirety.” Among those
available are the collections
of Willi Bauer and S.M. Lee
(Sang M. Lee), both of whom
have retired. Collections already acquired include those
of Lucien Delarue, Marc
Chapaud, Josep Verdaguer,
Arquer Buigas, and Joseph
Prochazka. Call (212) 2458287, www.arnotgallery.com.

cottages, garden scenes,
landscapes, cityscapes, Disney art, etc. Then there is the
Impressions collection of
work created by Thomas
under the brush name of
Robert Girrard. This work
features a very different look
and feel and because of this,
many people are either collectors of one collection or
the other,” Mr. Hill says.
“The average Thomas
Kinkade collector has between five and seven pieces
hanging on their walls.
“The Girrard collection is
a looser, impressionist style
that appeals to a different
type of collector. Those buyers tend to be a younger
group of people with a

level.” In June, the company
launched a marketing campaign around the Impressions collection to expand
the collector base.
“The

Kinkade collectors are very
aware of Thomas as a brand,
as well as the various collections including the Robert

“To be able to paint any subject with the same level of intensity says a lot about the

HEARING ON ARTISTS’
RESALE RIGHTS IS
CAUSE FOR HOPE IN THE
PASSING OF THE ART ACT
WASHINGTON—“I firmly believe that the time has come
for us to establish a resale
royalty right here in the United
States. By adopting a resale
royalty, the U.S. would join
the rest of the world in recognizing this important right.
The ART Act would ensure
that American artists also
benefit whenever and wherever their works are sold,
whether in New York, London,
or Paris,” said Congressman
Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) in his
opening statement at the
House Judiciary’s subcommittee hearing where he introduced the American Royalties
Too (ART) Act which would
ensure visual artists are compensated when their original
artwork is resold.
Congressman Nadler’s legislation would bring fairness to
American artists who, unlike
their fellow visual artists in 70
countries, do not receive any
compensation when their
works are resold at public
auction, even if the sale takes
place in a country that has
adopted the resale royalty
right. Unlike other artists,
such as songwriters and
performing artists who may
receive some royalties whenever their works are reproduced or performed,
American visual artists
currently benefit only from the
original sale of their artwork.
This means that the artist receives no part of the longterm financial success of a
work. For example, if a young
artist sells a work of art for
$500 at the beginning of their
career, and the same work is
later sold for $50,000, the
artist gets nothing. It is the
purchaser, not the artist, who
benefits whenever the value
of the artist’s work increases.

THE ART OF SELLING TO MILLENNIALS
Millennials, or Gen Y as they
are also known, are defining
the way in which the global
marketplace is headed, with
estimates putting their purchasing power at $170 billion
a year, according to comScore, an Internet technology company that measures
what people do as they navigate the digital world. They
are the generation born between 1980 and 2000 that
grew up with cell phones and
personal computers.
LAS VEGAS—Mixed media
artist and high-relief sculptor
Dale Mathis has opened a
3,000-square-foot studio and
showroom in Downtown Las
Vegas. Mathis, who also has
a working studio in the Philippines, believes his new space
in the tourist destination of
Las Vegas will expose his
sculpture, ranging in price
from $65 to $40,000, to more
people. “It’s always been a
dream of mine to have a studio where people can visit
and get a behind-the-scenes
look at where all the magic
happens,” says Dale. “Downtown Las Vegas is the perfect
place for me. It’s become a
collective of creative, inspirational, and positive energy.”
He says those interested in
purchasing, except for very
small pieces, will be referred
to one of the galleries that
sells his work. Currently, he is
planning to add select galleries to his dealer network.
Shown is a deck of 3-D metal
and mechanical playing
cards, an edition of 2,500, the
same size as a standard card
size, and retailing for about
$65. Produced with monies
raised through a Kickstarter
campaign, the deck has been
described as “a piece of
playing card history.” Visit:

We should begin to take
note of millennial shopping

Peter of Arnot Galleries in
Manhattan. “They are excellent candidates for the art
market—and it is interesting
how different they are in life

Boomers. So I ask, ‘How do
you adapt to them in the marketplace when you yourself
are from Gen X or a Baby
Boomer? It is almost like
speaking a different language.” She counts herself
fortunate to have a millennial
daughter, Nicole, who has a
business career and, as
such, can provide useful insights. “It requires a lot of
adaptation to reach out to
that market. They are on

Nicol wanted to first test
the waters to see how the
new work would be received.
“I decided to launch my new
series at the 2014 Artexpo in
New York to get real-time
opinions by people,” says
the artist. “The series was
met with rave reviews,
gallery interest, and collector
purchases. Then the only
other criteria that I needed to
test was how my existing
galleries and collectors
would react. To that end, I
had a show at a gallery that
has been representing me
for the last seven years and
all my existing
collectors in the
area were invited. The show
was a success
with originals
and limited editions sold, as
well as custom
commissions requested. I believe
that
collectors today,
mine included,
are very discriminating
and
knowledgeable.
They know what
they like.”
Nicol’s collectors told him
that they appreciate the high
quality of his work, regardless of genre. “They have
come to know me as a stable, consistent artist who
creates high-quality, innovative art. They see my new
series as an extension of my
creativity
and
want
to invest in the new work
as well.”
Genre diversity also plays
a role in the art buying habits
of people that are already familiar with an artist’s work
before even stepping foot in
the gallery.
Celebrity artist, interior
designer, and TV host David
Bromstad’s brand fits that
bill. Signed to Penny Lane

Carlisle, Ohio, in 2011,
Bromstad has created a diverse collection of paintings

with him was easy because,
beyond his name and brand
recognition, he makes some
great artwork that appeals to
many different tastes. People are aware of the evolution of his career and

MARKETING: NOW CUSTOMERS CONTROL THE MESSAGE
by Pam Danziger
Disruption—it’s a hot word in
business circles, yet few analysts delve into the root
cause of that disruption. It
isn’t simply a result of the Internet’s existence, but how
the Internet has transferred
the power of information that
controls the exchange of
goods and services from the
marketer to the consumer. It
is this shift in control of information, not necessarily how
the information is delivered or
disseminated, that is key, according to a new book, The
Age of the Customer: Prepare for the Moment of Relevance, by my friend and
colleague Jim Blasingame,
founder of the Small Business Network Inc. and host
of the syndicated Small Business Advocate Show.
As Jim proclaims: “The
age of the customer is upon
us.” After centuries of markets driven in large part by
PAGE 32
those who sell, today’s competitive environment is driven
by the customer. This means
marketers can’t go forward
with their marketing plans
without deep consumer insights about motivations, not
just behavior or demographics. As Jim explains, there is
a paradigm shift going on in
the commercial world from
the “Age of the Seller” to the
“Age of the Customer.”
This requires changes in
the way goods and services
are marketed to the newly information-empowered consumer. Where once the seller
controlled the message
through carefully-crafted advertising and consistent messaging, nowadays product
information is overwhelmingly
created by the customer. As
a result, the customer no
longer needs to rely upon the
marketer to tell them about
the product and its advantages, but instead can go to
a rapidly-expanding library of
information about products
and services on the Internet,
including User-GeneratedContent. This has turned the
tables on the marketer with a
resulting loss of power in
their relationship with the
customer. Essentially, the
product itself has been commoditized and lost its significance, as the customer has
vastly superior ways of discovering viable alternatives
through the Internet and the
access it provides to information. And it is information that
is key, and the source of
power, in the business relationship—which now the customer, not the seller, controls.
His solution is for marketers to make their messages relevant by communicating important, interesting
information to the customer
which makes them take notice. This moment of relevance, as he calls it, requires
marketers understand their
customers’ point-of-view—
not just the traditional who,
what, where—but why people buy. The underlying motivations that power the customer are far more powerful
than just understanding behavioral and demographic
data. A deep understanding
of the consumers’ attitudes
and motivations pays huge
dividends in more effective
and relevant marketing and
branding in this new “Age of
the Customer.”
This article is excerpted from
a blog by Pam Danziger,
founder of Unity Marketing, a
marketing consulting firm
specializing in providing business insights into the mind of
the affluent consumer. Visit:

He continues, “If anyone
asks me what my top seller
is, I have to laugh because
my biggest seller is what I
choose it to be. So if I have
a good relationship with a
vendor and a big discount, I
will push their moulding

His corner samples are

places the families of

fillet (if there is one) underneath. He believes it is intimidating for a customer to
walk into a frameshop and
look at a wall of wood, silver, or gold. The system
also helps him control the
price, and he describes how
it works: “When I’m working
with a customer, I take the
moulding down and do a
beautiful design that retails
for about, say, $800. The
customer says it is too
much and wants to pay
$400. Now I know I have a
$400 customer in front of
me. I pulled the best to
show them. Maybe I could
challenge myself to get
them to $600! But, if I go to
a wall that is all gold, how
would I know if the moulding
I pull is less than the $800
job?” But when it is arranged by vendor, in families, in
descending order, he knows

In 12 years, he says he has

Sometimes a customer
may leave the shop, sputtering at the price. Mr. Conrad turns the job around in
24 hours, and asks the customer to come back at a
specific time. “I make it a ‘to

on an easel.” When they
come in and see it there,
they are delighted.” If he
asks them what the price is,
they often don’t remember.
“Price is not the issue. But
when you push it, it becomes the issue.”
Myrna Dow, who has

for five, also finds that location, to some extent, influences her decision on what
mouldings to carry. Her
frameshop and gallery is situated in an upscale community in the Pacific Northwest.
High-end rustic yet contemporary mouldings sell very
well here, but lacquered and
glossy styles don’t do so
well. Yet when she discovers a really eye-catching design, she will display it
regardless. “I am an advocate of having a lot of

Her average ticket price is
$400 to $500.
When the customer first
comes in, she asks them if
they see any framing designs on display that they

about their decor and likes
and dislikes and then shows
them some samples. “It’s

he is inspired by with no
creative restrictions. “All of
the different genres (roosters, landscapes, cityscapes,
nudes, and wine) fall under
The Work of Thomas Easley
—they’re all part of his story
and his creative evolution.
Over the years, Thomas’

He may have started with

Mr. Bloss also
notes that many
of Easley’s collectors are attracted
to his work because of the underlying style in
technique
and
color that is recognizable.
“In some ways, it presents
an appealing offer to galleries because it allows
them to attract a wide range
of art buyers. What many
gallery owners find is that
their customers are much
more open to different genres once they become collectors of a particular artist’s
work. While the subject may

their collectors. We encourage our galleries to introduce clients to other
genres of art; however there
has to be a shared underlying theme or a common
thread for the client to be
open to purchasing different
genres from the same
artist.”
Chalk & Vermilion’s Ms. Bigelow
adds that what
makes an artist
successful, is the
ability to create
work on different
levels. “For Picasso, Erté, and
Hallam, the shared element is

that are still easily recognizable as their own distinctive
style rather than a complete
departure,” she says. “An
artist might be able to do it
all, but if it does not coalesce and become identifiable as theirs it begins to
dilute their brand. What is
more, is that all three artists’
artistry and subject matter
still resonates deeply with
Collectors, it seems,
must already have confidence in the artist’s work before they are exposed to
something different. Mr. Hill
says, “Thomas Kinkade had
painted 70 pieces under
the name Robert Girrard
before his death in 2012 and
collectors already knew him
as such—he had already established himself as Girrard.
While he had gained so
much success as The
Painter of Light, he also
wanted to experiment with
his art and his technique.
Out of that grew the Impressions collection.
“At the onset of this
work, Kinkade adopted the
brush name in an effort to
avoid confusion among his
collector base. That turned
out to be a very smart move
because the work was so
different. People are amazed
to find that Girrard is
Kinkade. but today’s collectors know and appreciate
the diversity of the two collections.”
Penny Lane’s Mr. Jones
says galleries can gain a
new collector base by offering the work of artists that
create in different genres.
And in the case of a wellknown name like David
Bromstad, carrying his work
means fans will seek out the
gallery themselves. “As far
as galleries go, this can be a
whole new market because
they now have the opportunity to tap into a well-known
name. With Bromstad there
is the name recognition and
the aesthetic that attracts
people.” Penny Lane provides galleries with marketing material that includes
a packet with a biography
card and a poster with
Bromstad on it.”

to reach out beyond their

Mr. Hill offers that galleries who may be struggling
could benefit from representing the work of an artist proficient in more than one
genre, but only when handled properly. “The artist
needs to be able to draw in
the foot traffic of new people
and the gallery itself needs
to be able to commit wall and
window space to a variety of
work. The view from the
street could be the catalyst
to bringing in new customers. The key to having a

open to more options that
