Today’s Big Time Art World travels in a pack – jetting around the world to where the perceived action is. “At the center of this pack are wealthy patrons who enjoy traveling together, often in their own planes, to far-flung art destinations. Some take chances on untried artists; others embrace challenging work by well-established names. But all keep abreast of one another’s choices. A purchase by one can inspire further interest from others, directly affecting the artist’s market and stirring up greater critical discussion. Wherever they go, they are always shopping, even at ostensibly noncommercial venues like Site Santa Fe.”
