Lol..irony Perhaps the nyt would be better served if their attitudes weren't so out of touch Michele maccarone is courting young artists... U know how many young artists would give an ear to show in her gallery.... Yet the nyt peice is smear not a fresh look at the new ways galleries are adapting to the times... Nyt = hacks Critics have it easy….they sit atop their lofty perch without a feel for anything on the street

Maccarone is basically telling buyers to wake up bc this is the bottom

I applaud it….her sensible and experienced voice is saying to buyers

If u want to pick up the peices u long for….ur window is closing before uptick hits the market

Isn’t panic the best time

Michele macc is the only real voice out there calling it like it is

Everyone else is living in abubble

Each talk of success and in the same breath talk of cut backs…
Lol..irony

Perhaps the nyt would be better served if their attitudes weren’t so out of touch

Michele maccarone is courting young artists…

U know how many young artists would give an ear to show in her gallery….

Yet the nyt peice is smear not a fresh look at the new ways galleries are adapting to the times…

Nyt = hacks

To clarify: I think Michele came out looking fine (and actually kind of funny) but I don't know that I'd want to be quoted and portrayed as the only dealer out there struggling in the NYT (particularly when Roberta implies some harsh things about the galleries that have closed). I think that in journalism (even if you're a great critic), you should quote more than one source (in this case another dealer) complaining about things--particularly given the current climate. Inside the art world, no harm done; outside of it, I don't know. The article felt loaded and incomplete to me. Resorting to commenting on my own posts now . . .
