et al.
Art is much bigger than the ancillary businesses that support it. At its root is the artist—one of the oldest professions that have largely remained unchanged over the centuries. Shrouded in myth, the artist is a revered figure possessing artistic ingenuity that us mere mortals cannot fathom. It is from this thought that the idea for et al. was conceived. The thought process of an artist always fascinated me and these encounters have been some of the richest, most rewarding and stimulating conversations I have engaged in. Without the artist, there is no art. Without the artists’ voices, the art world would have a gaping hole that no critic, journalist, curator or dealer could fill.
