And when I asked, the auction administrators gladly offered me the buyer's name.

"They" promised all sorts of things, but after I forked over my art I never heard from them again.<br /><br />On the flipside, a friend participated in Pulse, where artists were given space to work for a day and patrons watched — she had lots of interested people looking over her shoulder and received a nice private commission as a result.
