I am wondering if anyone has insight on "print drops" and a time frame that they became most popular.
I would believe in this day and age of social media, where artists are increasing their following as a manner of public notoriety.
Who was the first to do this? Mark Maggiori comes to mind.
Is this a way to increase engagement and have control over reproduction sales?
I hope you are as curious as I am.
I caught a glimpse of someone with a name tag carrying this 40" x 60" ish to the courier and asked for a picture. When they turned the art to me I said "oh no, I mean the hanger."
I told the individual in my experience, the drings at least go the other way.
I was promptly brushed off. Oh the joy of the art world.
Or squash. Its a volunteer from chaos gardening 🫣
Last night in the Texas hill country, about dusk, I walked out back to check my garden. One of my dogs let out a bark and then suddenly, a massive flock of raven sized birds departed from the trees above me. I was stunned. They were so silent. I couldn't believe what I was seeing but it turned out to be a kettle of Hawks.
I did not know they traveled together when migrating ♡ I sat down and watched as they slowly circled and then flew away.
Edit for.clarity: I AM NOT A CONSERVATOR, JUST AN ART NERD/PICTURE FRAMER/ ARTIST. Looking to learn!
Why might this chipping/ shedding happen? I ask to better understand when speaking with clients.
