Quote "There's nothing new here, but how could there be? The youngest artist in the show is 33; 26 of the 49 artists are over 50. From this bias one can presume, whether or not it's true, that Seattle dealers have not been doing much homework for a very long time, which is a depressing thought."
Speaking of biases.... what is wrong with having half the artists in the mature phase of their lives ?? If most working artists are productive from age 25 to age 75, then 50 seems like a representative midpoint.
Not so long ago, say, even as late as the 70's, artists were expected to mature a bit to produce their most thoughtful, profound work. Now the art world is so intent on creating the next art-star.... and profiting from that creation....
