My guest is Justin Anthony, co-founder of Artwork Archive – the platform so many of you already use to track your work, your collectors, your exhibitions, and the business side of your practice.
Justin shares what he’s hearing from art consultants around the world – the people who quietly place art in some of the largest public and private collection. We get into how they actually find artists, what makes them choose to work with someone again and again, and why professionalism, clear communication, and a cohesive story around your work are just as important as the work itself.
We also talk about relationships in the broadest sense: not just customer-relationship management, but relationship management. Your peers, your local art organizations, the artist who recommended you for that show, the collector who bought that small print five years ago and still thinks about it every morning when they walk past it on the way to make coffee.
Hoy Reinaldo estará conversando con Memo Orduña. Maestro impresor y artist gráfico originario de Oaxaca y jefe de edición del taller la Buena Impresión. Memo comenzó su carrera inspirado por el trabajo artístico de sus familiares y a su temprana edad se convirtió en la cabecera de la impresión en este prestigioso taller dedicado a la litografía.
