In case anyone missed it Tyler Green asks Christian Viveros-Faune about his conflict of interest in holding a post as the Village Voice art critic while organizing and co-directing two commercial art fairs (Volta in NYC, Next in Chicago). Viveros-Faune shamefully cites other conflicts of interest in the art world to excuse his own. Green’s interview here, and follow up thoughts here.

It may be time for that, but let’s be up front about what that means. First of all, each artist wanting to exhibit their work may need to hire a lawyer or manager to work out their contracts with galleries and museums. If you go the lawyer route, you can expect, in NYC to pay at least $350/hour. Unless you go with free services, but you may need to get in a long line then. If you go the manager route, it may cost you an extra 10-15% of what you sell. There may be other models, but none are free or hassle free.
How will this impact the struggling artists wanting to build up enough sales to quit their day jobs? Hard to say at this point (clearly it doesn’t stop ambitious young actors or musicians), but it will almost certainly ensure that galleries, who will have to hire their own lawyers, take fewer chances on artists for whom sales are not a sure thing.

Dear Tyler Green
There is a big building in Chelsea that has no windows and a simple door and a unassuming door man at its front doors. The building is roughly ten stores high. The story goes among the Artists in New York City that this is a sculpture dedicated to
“Insider Trading”. (hahahaha!!!!)
