I was really excited to see Jason Polan selling stuff for $25 when recently he was selling drawings at Glenn Horowitz for $700. What was great about this particular venue was that you can get art that is otherwise expensive for a good price, and get to hang out in her out of control brownstone. (Not sure how she finances such a place when selling work for $100 and less). I talked to her for a bit that night- she's definitely well connected, with a huge group of talented well known artist friends who create work specifically for her parties. Buying something from her is an investment- these artists are going places. Unlike the other salons I've read about, she has a real gallery schedule, showing new work every month. I've only been to the last two, but if future events are anything like these were, she'll have an over-packed house come the summer months.

I love that you are trying to make art affordable for young art collectors. They are cool and so affordable...especially in this economy! I'm on the mailing list for your pieces.

However I hope there was more variety in the examples given. Most of them are photography. Good ones though. A very interesting topic. However I hope there was more variety in the examples given.
