Top Secret?, by shower on Dec 6, 2007 22:39:51 GMT 1, i understand that rumours exist and info gets passed on between people who happen to be close to print houses and galleries etc but if a gallery wanted to create a bit of hype or at least reveal something why wouldnt they just release it themselves?!

i dont get any secret info either. i'm not known by the artists or galleries, so cant expect otherwise.

Top Secret?, by G-Man on Dec 6, 2007 23:50:14 GMT 1, It's def meant to sneak out
Look... the galleries want to sell the stiff, they also want the fans to get in there first not the flippers
The only way to do this is to slip out info to people who are in control of telling a few eople
I know people who know the gallery owners and they are always telling stuff in secret, thats how me and my mates have such good art collections on our walls
It is right that a few should know and then they only tell the few who will buy for the art not the flipping
I have built my collection around this Silky over the last few years
you know that the galleries know that you tell your mates and they tell theirs, this way the true collectors get to own good art collections at reasonable prices and dont have to pey for the flippers who have nothing better to do than sit in front of the screeen F5-ing.... some of us have jobs and art collections and its down to people like you telling the right people
Long may it continue

Top Secret?, by gtf on Dec 7, 2007 2:17:20 GMT 1, Interesting thread.
I can look at it from 2 viewpoints
The Outsider I don't know anyone on this forum and not likely to so will not get any inside info from them. I'm not in London or Bristol (or commute distance) so not part of the "scene" and don't get any info there either. Since I'm not close to London, despite buying stuff from galleries, haven't met them so don't get any good info there either, apart from the normal buyers/opening party invites.
The Insider The artist that I like the most and therefore have bought a bit over the years, has been kind enough to advise galleries of my name and I've been able to buy prints and the occasional original in advance of any of the preview viewings. I've also got artist prints, commissions (well one actually), stuff direct from the artist, advance info, viewings etc. so feel lucky in that respect
Here is the crux of the problem - How do you decide who is a "true" fan worthy of getting "secret info"? Someone who posts a lot, already has a lot of the artists work, knows the artist, been on the forum for ages, goes to all the 1st nights?
p.s. I don't think all info should be shared on this forum because we all know (or at least I think I know) that flippers use this forum. Unfortunately I don't have an answereither
Bit of a late night ramble after a night of mulled wine and mince pies so apologies if I went on a bit.
