From: Dorian Category: Art Date: 26 June 2009 Time: 02:22 PM Review: Dear Chris, what an interesting review and how charming to hear a genuinely innocent opinion from inside the Art World. I smiled wryly to myself with your anecdote of the Volta Gallerist describing one of their artists rising from destitution, drug abuse and prostitution to artistic success. You'll soon learn that Gallerists have a gift for turning " lucrative" artists into prostitutes before driving them to despair and pushing them to the brink of financial ruin. Just ask around Vyner Street . . . surely you can't pretend you haven't heard about Gallerists shamelessly ripping off artists and then threatening them with violence when they dare ask for their money ? Maybe you should actually try communicating with artists. But I wish you luck with your new career. I trust you have dumped your integrity into the canal behind Vyner Street. Enjoy !
