Yesterday the Revolving Gallery staff all went on an outing to the Newcastle Gateshead Art Fair. We had a great day and it was nice to see other people out there with a passion for selling and collecting fine art up North. The place was packed and there were plenty of people buying (which is encouraging for both dealer and collector). I myself managed to restrain myself to by only a small and strange object in the emerging artist section of the show. It was a painted piece of bone by Iris Priest, it is an object of great beauty and detail with a delicate nature. It's going to look great on a fireplace with an acrylic case and judging by the paintings alongside this work she is going to grow into a strong and highly engaged artist in the region.
So I guess all in all this day shows that you can get out there and collect art, as always there was hit and miss elements but there where some really nice pieces of strong artwork, much of it at affordable prices. So I hope anyone who collects or hopefully people wanting to start will join me in supporting the fantastic talent we have in this region and country as a whole.
