David said something in the Taking Off 2011 thread that sort of tweaked my brain cells a tad.
He said "Considering the state of the economy" he did well last year.
I'll be honest, I have not been following the thread that actively but I feel the economy can no longer be an excuse for anything. The economy is doing very well!
The only people who believe the economy is doing poorly is the media who need to sell their news and unemployed people. Yes - there are many unemployed people (but not more then expected) but they are actually not the ones that buy art in the first place.
This whole bad economy thing is fear driven and as long as people keep getting told the economy is bad they will believe it.
The people that buy Art have been making double digit gains for two years in the market and have jobs!
Last year was my first year "being out there" and from all the people I talked to 100% said this year (last year) was much much better then the year before (but not as good as the late 90s I guess).
Sorry - but I am pretty involved with watching the economy and we are about to enter year 3 of a pretty good bull run and I expect this is going to be a great year.
