[Leica] High price for art

[rgacpa at yahoo.com (Bob Adler)]

I think you're right. I'm doing a show right now with 4 other people; 2 
sculpturers and 2 other "2-D" artists (painter and 'digital artist'). The 
sculptures have just about all sold; none of the 2-D artists have sold a 
piece.
Of course, the 2D artists (including myself) might just suck! :-)

Subject: [Leica] High price for art

About those Giacometti sculptures, the Koval antiques site reports that the
Alberto Giacometti bronze sculpture "L'homme qui marche I" ("Walking Man I")
sold last week for $104,327,006. It is the most expensive artwork ever sold
at auction.

Perhaps we are in the wrong artistic endeavor. Metal working, sculpture and
bronze casting seem to pay pretty well. Now all I have to do is convince my
wife to give up brush and paint in favor of a welding torch.
