Art Dealer Show

Wellcome to the bar around the corner from the gallery. After closing time, this is where the art dealers retreat to swap war stories and ponder this unique life of art sales.

Hosted by art business veteran Danny Stern, this is the first show dedicated to exploring the world of art sales and the professionals in the field. Through an on-going series of in-depth and revealing conversations with art selling masters from every strata, angle and specialty this podcast aims to capture an industry that remains a mystery to even those who are at its center.

It’s our opportunity to share the wisdom and stories that don’t usually travel past the walls of galleries around the world and which could potentially be lost forever. These are are the tales and biographies that define our chosen field through its history and culture.

So my art-selling friend, order something stiff from the bar, pull up a seat and please join us.

Cheers.

"Looking for weird people creating weird things" - Guest Ruth Ann Thorn - The other half.

Ruth Ann Thorn (Exclusive Collections)

We are finally back with the second half of our conversation with San Diego gallerist Ruth Ann Thorn (Exclusive Collections). And maybe being a year and a half later you have concluded that the reason for the wait is because the second half was just more of the same. And if that’s you, prepare to be surprised.

I’ve heard lots of art dealers go on about how they need to find artists who are not just talented but are doing things their collectors have truly not seen before. And then wait for them to walk in the door, or hope to find them at the next art fair. But Ruth Anne does much more than keep her eyes open. She goes on the hunt.

Junkies, Schizoids, and Ex-Cons – oh my.

Listen to this new episode of the Art Dealer Show and find out what happens when a gallery owner makes a practice of placing ads on Craig’s list that start with “Looking for weird people creating weird things”. Follow her journey into Hollywood flops and other corners of the world no other art dealer I know is willing to brave, just to find their next artist.

But before we get into all that, a year and a half is a long time, particularly in today’s art world. So from our corner booth in the back of the ol’ art dealer bar, I gave Ruth Ann a call to check in and see what has been going on since we first spoke with her. And I’ll say this, it’s not a lot of same old – same old.

Ruth Anne has seen the changes coming come and like anyone who will survive to thrive, she’s adapting with the changing climate.

So slide on in, order yourself up the perfect tonic to carry you through the hour and join us.

Cheers.

Danny
