WHEN TO BRING IN NEW
ART AND WHAT TO CHOOSE
At any given time, a gallery owner needs to bring in fresh
work. Inventory that was once deemed saleable can, with the
changing of trends, become unsaleable. A particular genre
that was popular with one generation of a gallery’s clients,
may not be embraced with such enthusiasm by the next. But

IN OUR OPINION
O.K. WHERE IS
EVERYBODY?
midst the stillness of a
hot summer’s day, art
and framing retailers
look longingly out their windows and wonder, “Where
are they?”
A
“They,” meaning the packs
of consumers who are trying
to spend their way to better
economic times for us all.
“They” are the ones who
booked summer trips this year
to the mountains, shores, and
cities at a rate not seen since
2007. Although they were notably frugal once they arrived
at their destination, overall the
money they spent was at a
better level. “They,” of all
ages, felt it was a good time
to buy a new car as well. From
Gen Xers and Gen Yers to
good old Baby Boomers, a
new set of wheels seemed to
be within the budget and heart
of a large swath of consumers. Accordingly, the federal government tallied that
“They” purchased goods and
services in the first and second quarter of the year to
post a very significant 4.3%
rise in GDP. And, most folks
in Washington suggest that
the second half of this year is
shaping up to be stronger
than the first half, despite the
lackluster July numbers.
So, for all the framers and
gallery owners who have
been in snooze mode the last
few months, consider that
“They” have money to spend,
exotic tans to show off as
they step out of shiny new
cars at gallery openings. But
you have to meet them half
way by opening your business to them by presenting
great framing and captivating
new art. By working hard to
showcase what you do, outstanding success might be
yours. And, if all goes well, it
might be you sliding out of a
shiny new car at the beach
next year.

LARGEST DALI PAINTING
WHEN TO BRING IN NEW ART?
LAS VEGAS—Martin
Lawrence Galleries at The
Forum Shops at Caesars
Palace unveiled the world’s
largest Salvador Dalí painting, “March of Time Committee: Papillon” at the gallery’s
third annual “The Art of Imagining” event in July. The
26,000-square-foot gallery
was able to handle the
63 1/2- by 16 1/4-foot oil
and tempera on joined,
unstretched canvas. Valued
at an estimated $20 million,
the piece was originally commissioned in 1940 by Wallace
Laboratories to serve as a
dramatic backdrop at a reception at the Waldorf Astoria in
New York for the launch of the
company’s tranquilizer Miltown. The painting was then
included in an extensive Dalí
exhibition in 1995 at the
Beurs van Berlage Museum
in Amsterdam. “The Art of
Imagining” event benefitted
the University Medical Center
(UMC) Trauma Center in Las
Vegas and, collectively, from
2012 to 2013, has raised
$13,000 for the center. “This
event is entirely unique,” says
gallery director of Martin
Lawrence Galleries, Las
Vegas, Stacie Goulet. “It combines the beauty of art and
collecting along with world
class entertainment. It also allows all who attend to have a
special night with others who
share their love of art and
view one of the finest collections in the world. During this
year’s event, our entertainment is themed around Dalí’s
‘March of Time’ with acrobats,
magicians, stilt walkers, and
live music.” In conjunction
with UMC, local clientele, and
VIP clients that flew in from
worldwide, about 500 people
were expected to attend. Call

KINKADE COMPANY’S ‘IMPRESSIONS’
The Thomas Kinkade Company is introducing “Impressions,” a collection of
Impressionist work created
by Thomas Kinkade during
his lifetime, some under his
pseudonym Robert Girrard,
and others painted
later in his career
under his real
name. The initial
release is of 15

sizes from 17 by

HIGH POINT MARKET REVIEW
by Doug Rozenboom
Twice a year seventy five
thousand home fashion-hungry buyers and sellers descend on a small town in
North Carolina to do one
thing: See what home furnishings and décor customers want to buy. The
focus here is on the see and
the buy, given that thousands of companies are
showing their wares, trends,
innovations, and lifestyles
that reflect how today’s
shopper is being inspired to
spend money on their home.
The question of why the
words High Point are spoken in the same breath as
Milan, Cologne, and Paris is
not debated. This place is
the best location to peer
into the looking glass of
what is next for the North

consumer. So, what does
this bi-annual show in a
quiet town in NC have to do
with the framing and art industry? More than you may
know. Let us think for a moment. What is art? How
does framing function in the

these items in our home?

For many vendors, this business is going very well. Our
focus at Larson-Juhl is to

your customers to enter a

There are always trends
going on within the marketplace; too many to list in

The focus here is on objects, be it for the floor,

would put the Smithsonian
on notice. Petrified wood,
crystals, fossilized shells,
maps, and exotic found objects are now being utilized
as art and décor to very dramatic results.

his stripe paintings. “All it is
