Long ago, we used to dream of someone who would take over the business side and leave us to the more noble creation. Experience has taught that there is no substitute for getting one' hands "dirty" in the business of art.

I think most artists have been tempted by the idea of doing without dealers altogether, but in fact they provide a much needed service, and some take artists to much greater heights than they would have reached on their own.
