The Art Fair Advantage Philosophy
The Art Fair Advantage is based on the way I have worked in the art business for more than 40 years — from galleries and auction houses to art fairs, artists, and sales strategy.
My goal is not to suggest there is only one right way to succeed. Instead, I share practical, real-world advice that artists and galleries can adapt to their own work, audience, and goals.
See you on the show floor. — Mark Shapiro
