Outrageous, of course, but not out of keeping with the excellent mood at PULSE today. Every single dealer I spoke to — and in addition to those I’ve mentioned I also chatted with
Priska Juschka,
Mark Moore, the folks from
Baró Cruz, and whole bunch of others — was delighted with the new PULSE setup. And the artists, collectors, publishers, and other assorted folks I bumped into seemed just as enthusiastic.
Finally, let me applaud the fact that PULSE found space for the “Shoot for Success” project, which was founded three years ago by high schooler student Melissa Urfirer (who even now is only 17) to put cameras into the hands of homeless kids. Their work is here, and some of it is excellent. You can buy prints for $25 each. I did.
