<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 38147, member: 37"]He is in San Diego. I am sure that is a much better area for buying art than here in the Midwest. My experience with the Midwest is that, for the most part, people don't have any real appreciation for art and money doesn't necessarily buy taste. I am somewhat fortunate in that I live in a community with a major university where people are educated, well-traveled, and are constantly moving in and out. The university also has an active art program with good artists coming through regularly. Even so, I can buy art very cheaply since the true locals could care less about it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Take what I have and multiply it 50 times or so and you might approximate San Diego. With the military presence, universities, retirees, long art history, etc., the Southern CA area would probably be one of the best places to be in to purchase art. I don't know what his set up is but he could have people working with/for him to find as much as he does. I have watched him for years and he has steadily grown in the volume of art he lists. He has built quite a nice business.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
