Following the show and its opening a few of the artworks have been purchased. In order to reflect this, red dots have been placed alongside and the website updated to reflect this. Some of the paintings have been taken out of the show to be photographed for archiving and packed away.
For the next three hours we are summoned to re-hang a lot of the private collection upstairs as a lot of it has collected dust and newer ones put in their place. This takes a good 3 hours as there were 20 or so specific instructions on where things had to be hung, at what level and what to replace them with.
It pays to write all of these things down to save yourself for being yelled at the end of the day. Due to this being a commercial gallery, there is a buyers room and paintings have to be showcased there for the prospective buyer to sit down with the manager and negotiate a price. This room has to be kept very tidy, to impress the buyer and the paintings are laid out to specific mathematical instructions. That work continues on today....
