Thanks for the wonderful service you're providing here these days (and actually you always have!). I just passed on some of the info to an artiist friend, not a dealer, who lost all his work in a storage facility in Jersey City. He has no insurance, of course, but must dry out paintings, clean up mold, get a space to move work to, hire truckers, etc. Your MoMA link is especially good for Karen Schifanonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30832682.post-63086465673401771602012-11-12T22:29:30.275-05:002012-11-12T22:29:30.275-05:00Anonymous 9:25 and 9:25--

Most dealers moved paintings up out of the way, or moved them to storage (if they had storage outside of the gallery). Why assume that artists can quickly rent a truck to pick up work--or that they have plenty of space to store work? We are talking about New York City, where space is at a premium, where truck rental is Joanne Matterahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02564594823192456546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30832682.post-20172206946078310042012-11-12T21:28:45.958-05:002012-11-12T21:28:45.958-05:00It will be interesting to see what kind of impact ...It will be interesting to see what kind of impact Sandy will have on insurance policies in the area hit hard.

They could have transported artwork from their galleries or at least allowed artists to pick up their work if desired. It was not like Sandy came out of nowhere. It has been noted that Gagosian did nothing to prepare. I guess we have not learned anything from Katrina. But hey, those insurance policies rock, don't they?

It's a couple of weeks now since the storm and still there are lots of people without power. It's shades of a "Katrina North." Lots of the relief effort seems to be springing from area residents themselves stepping forward to help. <br /><br />Being an artist or running a gallery is challenging in the best of times, Philip Kochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05191070779177407750noreply@blogger.com
