Blogs giving painters a new way to sell art
Blogs giving painters a new way to sell art
Online presence helps clients know the work
By Daniel Grant, Globe Correspondent | July 2, 2007
Admirers often told Elizabeth Torak that they wished they could watch her working the brush as she developed one of her paintings.

Her studio in Pawlet, Vt., was too small to invite them all in, but she has managed to accommodate them through her blog -- and bolster her sales at the same time. One couple directed to her blog by a gallery owner watched her work on a still life titled "Fruits and Flowers" for six weeks and purchased it when it was complete.
"They told me how much fun they had had following the progress of the painting on the blog," she said. "I had been completely unaware that they were doing this and was surprised and pleased, and also relieved that I had kept my language on the blog upbeat and temperate."
For many artists, a blog has become a primary marketing tool in a business that tends to depend on relationships. Collectors have typically bought through dealers they've come to trust and from artists they meet at art fairs, open-studio events, and gallery openings.
"I encourage all the artists I represent to start a blog," said New York City art gallery owner Edward Winkleman. "It gives you an immediate presence in the art world."
San Francisco artist Anna L. Conti, who is represented by Winkleman, said the Internet has fundamentally changed the way she sells her work.
"I used to hold open studios and do art fairs, where I would always talk to collectors," Conti said, "but now I leave paintings with my gallery, and the people who buy my work never meet me anymore."
Conti's blog is focused on the day-to-day life of herself as artist, offering one day a detail of a painting that will be on display at an upcoming gallery exhibit, another day the type of framing she used for one work.
"I mounted the paintings inside a flat wooden case which I picked up one day when I was walking past one of those urban nomads who was cleaning out his van," she wrote in one posting. "After a bit of cleaning, some paint, and some new hardware, it was just what I wanted.
Winkleman said he didn't have any hard numbers to show that blogs boosted his artists' sales, but he was convinced that the blogs helped.
"It's my job to bring in collectors, and I appreciate anything artists may do -- including attracting more attention through blogs -- to help me," he said.
Torak still sells most of her work through the Tilting at Windmills gallery in Manchester, Vt., but she said her blog "certainly helps supplement sales" by raising the interest level of prospective buyers.
Writing for the blog, she said, requires her to clarify her ideas, which makes it easier to know what to say to collectors when she meets them. "The more confident I am with words, the better impression I make," she said, "and that certainly helps sales."
Torak's blog is aimed at collectors "who are already familiar with my work and want to find out more about me." She posts images, from preliminary drawings to finished oils, and offers information about herself, sources of inspiration for her work, and techniques.
"I spent my first hour of work today putting in the arm of the woman tasting the soup -- not the one you can see but the one hidden in the shadows," she wrote about one work in progress. "Even though you hardly see that arm, I think it is very important to the painting. For one thing it expresses the unconscious mind of the woman tasting the soup."
Unlike those of some other bloggers, Torak's postings are sporadic, sometimes months apart. While she said that she's "amazed how thoughts come together" when she's writing about her work, she can't continually post messages if she's going to get any painting done.
"I mean, there are only so many hours a day I can sit in front of a computer," she said.

Brian Eno’s 77 Million Paintings at Yerba Buena, July 1
Brian Eno’s 77 Million Paintings at Yerba Buena, July 1
Better Than: 77 million pokes in the eye with a sharp stick
Download: Here.
Last night was the final presentation of the 77 Million Paintings instillation, put on at Yerba Buena under the auspices of the Long Now Foundation, of which Paintings creator Brian Eno is a founder and guiding spirit. I waited until last night to go, when it was Long Now Members’ Night and the conditions for an Eno sighting would be most favorable.
Eventually museum staff opened the gallery area, and about 200 people filed in to the cavernous, darkened space. The five make-out bean bags and a squishy couch went first, and about eighty grown-ups laid down, sciatica be damned, on their backs in front of the screen, gazing up with coats and Timbuk2 bags as pillows. The room was still light enough to look around and play a game of “which bald intellectual dressed in all black is Brian Eno?” There were many, many potential candidates, but all were ultimately disqualified on the basis of being taller than 5’6’’.
The work was a giant triptych, a large center panel flanked by two identical images. Eno has been working on the hand-painted slides for 20 years, but recently digitized the whole thing, using generative software to superimpose random images on top of each other, each element fading in, changing color, and bleeding away at an imperceptibly slow pace. The images were mostly abstract; Rorsascht blots, blocks of color, mazes and grids, finger paintings, scribbles. A naked lady and some warheads appeared a few times. “Oh shit, we forgot to get stoned,” was my first thought, an oversight surely not committed by many of the assembled art persons, nerds, hippies, and smart old people.
The other half of the project is its sound, generated by a computer program that responds to the art on the screen with a random mix of typical Eno ambient-ry: disembodied, grainy Vocoder chants, electronic whirrings and drones, broken chime melodies. “Space Druids” is the best phrase I can come up with for it, and indeed the whole scene at Yerba Buena had the feel of a beautiful and vaguely sinister cult ceremony in a futuristic cathedral, from the immobile bodies laid out Heaven’s Gate style in front of the screen, to the otherworldly transcendence of the music, to the palpable sense of joy and gratitude when Eno took the stage, bald, little, dressed in neatly in black.
He mentioned, in the dry, precise diction familiar to fans of his ‘70’s rock albums (before he created the genre of ambient music), that the project confounds predictions of the death of the modern attention span. “There’s a feeling,” he said to a roomful of people who’d been laying on their backs watching a glowing screen in reverent silence for 30 minutes, “that to surrender to something is worthy. It’s what religion used to do, and [the piece] even looks a little like stained glass -- it’s a poor man’s religious substitute.”
And to extend the cult metaphor a little, I couldn’t help but wait 20 minutes in the reception line in the lobby later, until I finally got to the front and sputtered a few blushing fangirl sentences at Mr. Eno. He was very cool and charming about it, and if he’d handed me a glass of Kool-Aid I wouldn’t have thought twice.
