+Rich Quick
The Carmichael Gallery in LA hosts Get Rich Quick featuring art from a lot of heavy hitters opening May 7th. That's good, but it's interesting to note the work comes from the collections of their collectors. Maybe bad economy hit these collectors and it's your win win if you score on their misfortune? Or another sign that the art market is still in freefall? You decide.

this should be called the 'flipper' show as that is all it is, "collectors" reselling work for profit. super tacky by the gallery too.

actually it could be a move to try to win favor with collectors. what better way to make your customers feel important than to select works they own to show others.
