From the Easel

Gerhard Richter, says The Economist, is "the world's foremost living painter."  Well.  How do you get to be that?  It doesn't seem to hurt your case if you 1) are as important as Jackson Pollock; 2) have a show at the Tate Modern; and 3) sell $80 million worth of art in one year.  It also helps to have a dealer who "selects buyers carefully."

VSO happens to be the "foremost living painter" at Rural Ways.  She does not fling paint in quite the manner of Mr. Pollock; has not received a call from the Tate; and generally sells less than a million dollars of art each year.  Despite the differences, it is important to note that, from here on out, we will be selecting our buyers carefully.  For example, you may only collect her most recently completed work (pictured above) if you tell us that you like it.
