Art business in the most southern point of the USA
December 10, 2014 decided, on the recommendation of an American to go from Miami to the South, the town of Key West(Key West)...
We were interested in the local art market and Villa Hemingway...250 km road to the South through the reserves, then over a ridge of Islands connected by long bridges and embankments in the ocean...
On the island of Key West has an airport, dock cruise ships, yachts, classic tourist rotoseal clogged streets...Many of the old buildings made of wood...
On the main street full of galleries, not less than 2 dozen...Range of products surprised...Two very large galleries were hung with works by local stars...Color all created from the same blue paint plus black made simple graphics...the Plot is simple, as 3 pennies: underwater happily swim two Dolphin...Second variation, instead of dolphins, floats slowly turtle...There pretty sunrises and sunsets...
To the question, what is a masterpiece of great beauty with the dolphins(size 100X100, canvas oil painting, expensive baguette) us authoritatively stated: costs $72000, but they will give us $54000...Then another added that this is a very good artist, as he is in 600000 collections around the world(!!!...) Several times we asked a number of collectors, all right, six hundred thousand souls...Such kitsch and bad taste, as there, I haven't seen in my life...
Posters I was varibales as painting only $3500...No you're the wrist and nuances of the game color spectra...One naked darkness...
Another artist way there was...Took the old posters (with movie stars, jazz and so on) was pasted on the canvas, covered with lacquer and offered a hundred thousand dollars...But!!!...
Villa Hemingway in Key West seemed to be very similar to another, which in Cuba(14 years ago have been there)...the Benefit to Cuba only 150 miles across the sea...
