SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y.,
7/13/09 --
ArtHamptons
2009
repeated the
attendance level of
5,000 fairgoers
compared to 2008,
the inaugural year,
with 68 galleries,
up 33% compared to
the number in '08,
showing $200 million
in art.
"The robust sales
over the four-day
event is a definite
harbinger that art
sales are finally
reviving and
stimulating," said
Rick Friedman,
founder of
ArtHamptons. "The
fish were biting,
not like in 2008,
but well enough to
eat well. It
reinforces that a
good picture at a
good price will
always sell."
While Peter Marcelle
Gallery's
sale of an
Andrew Wyeth
landscape for
$975,000 seems at
this point to be the
on-site show leader,
Mr.Friedman expects
other major sales to
follow in post-show
activity. On site
individual sales
ranged from $10,000
to $100,00, most
centering in the
$30,00 to $60,000
range. Many
galleries reported
that total on-site
sales well-exceeded
$100,000 including
Forum Gallery,
Gallery Henoch,
Waterhouse and Dodd
Gallery,
Throckmorton Fine
Art, Gary
Snyder/Project
Space, and Eric
Firestone Gallery.
