Old Stuff - #1
Howdy!
Way back in February I came across this article about an an artists resale rights levy that is going to take effect in the UK in 2006.
Interesting how they handle things over there, eh? Although the study about the levy says that it is going to hurt British artists, if I was an artist, I'd adore it. And then try and figure out a way to make people flip my art as fast as possible.
Some other interesting notes from the article: Britain apparently has about 24% of the contemporary art market. The US has about 46%. I'd bet that Canada doesn't even break 1%.
