I think art dealers are going to have to consider alternative markets like selling art online. It is not hard to set up paypal on a website. I know that is not a popular suggestion. Does not look like the traditional method is working very well though. You could represent your current stable of artists in the gallery while taking others online. You could even mark up your percent for the artists you work with online since you are giving them a shot that they would not have otherwise.

There's a mention of this blog in an article in Village Voice (which I got via Simpleposie).
Was it already mentioned?
I don't see as many art blogs mentioned in the press as this one.
