Welcome to Estefan Gargost's Art Blog

This article is unfair to museum-goers. It attempts to define the level of interest of people they don’t know. There are many reasons why a piece of art or a collection won’t get as much attention:

- The museumgoer has already seen the painting earlier in the visit or on a previous visit and would rather move on to another painting or exhibit.
- The museumgoer is an out-of-towner and, having limited time, prefers to move on to a piece or exhibit that interests him/her more.
- Or perhaps the same out-of-towner prefers to photograph them quickly in order to enjoy them later on.

I have exhibited my artwork in many group and solo shows, and, while the dynamic is quite different, it is still very difficult to figure out people’s interest in one piece or another. Sometimes a piece that appeared to get little attention ends up selling faster than one that might have obtained more interest.

Regardless of the reason, one should not be so quick to judge those people that make time to support the art that we create.
