A Portuguese gallery can never be able to put a Portuguese
artist in Gagosian gallery.
Portugal has zero power, how a gallery that is part of
this Portuguese status may have some power?
I think there are no art collectors in Portugal. Joe
Berardo is an investor; Francisco Capelo made him the collection in a time of
"fat cows" when things were dirt cheap.
The art fairs replaced the museums, however they are
fairs they aren’t exhibitions. The main art fairs today are Basel, Basel Miami
and New York Freeze. In Portugal there are no art fairs.
Nowadays anyone that wants to do an exhibition in
Portugal is a lost investment, I have no financial return.
