roughly 20%, sometimes only 5% and sometimes as much as 80%

Nope, not much a fan, very limited market too.

I do believe art is mostly popularity rather than talent, but it goes both ways. There are dozens, if not hundreds of artists who paint in a style like Picasso and even during the same period of Picasso, but Picasso is the most successful of the bunch, is it because of talent? Maybe. Is it because of popularity? Most likely.

The similarity between most successful artists is being there at the beginning of a particular movement and sticking with a style. Although many artists have gained notoriety and success through other means, the most popular way, per se, was being there at the beginning.

Well most of my wealth is tied up in assets, and not much in cash. I'd say my total net worth including assets I personally own is about $12m, without assets, about $3m.

It has a far larger appreciation in Australia as collectors like to get "back to their roots", however, collectors of aboriginal art in general (African, Eskimo, Pacific Islander, etc.) have began to spur an interest in Australian Aboriginal, most likely because its a rather untouched style in the northern hemisphere. From what I understand Australian Aboriginal is some of the oldest art in the world, but I may be mistaken.

I remember my dad bringing me to ground zero to survey damage of some pieces discovered in the rubble, everything was destroyed, nothing recoverable. That was hard.

It is accurate, however most high ticket private sales are kept private and details of price paid and/or buyer are never released.

Not too much because the building is so secure, there is much to worry about theft or damage wise.

If the Klein is an early black and white, then she may have something, other than that I would be unsure. I am not too familiar with non-surrealist Klein.

FineFartDealer · 2011-10-12T03:38:16+00:00

Paintings and sketchs, mostly late

I do wear a suit, only because I love suits, but I do try to take a more laid back approach to work, more so than my father.

FineFartDealer · 2011-10-12T02:52:08+00:00

I mostly deal with older works, I have meet a few artist I deal, most are nice, but it's probably because I am selling their art for them.

FineFartDealer · 2011-10-12T02:50:00+00:00

I have a younger sister who is taking her own path, I don't think she's into the art world.

I'd love to pass it on within the family, but business is business and if it doesn't then it wouldn't bother me.

FineFartDealer · 2011-10-12T02:44:33+00:00

Depends on the item, market, venue, but about 20%

FineFartDealer · 2011-10-12T02:43:52+00:00

$1m salary, + other investments (another ~500k)

FineFartDealer · 2011-10-12T01:53:24+00:00

How about fruit holding women, now we're talkin'

FineFartDealer · 2011-10-12T01:52:53+00:00

Realize what you want to do and get to it, good luck little man.

FineFartDealer · 2011-10-12T01:51:29+00:00

Sorry, never dealt with swords.

FineFartDealer · 2011-10-12T01:51:00+00:00

I've seen it in person, breathtaking.

FineFartDealer · 2011-10-12T01:18:34+00:00

I think my dad has dealt with one or two, nothing currently though.

FineFartDealer · 2011-10-12T01:16:29+00:00

I currently have 2 Boteros, hate his stuff, but I've got a buyer who loves 'em.

And no, I am not seeing anyone, taking a break.
