The Job Search

Searching for a job is a curious endever. It is exciting, frustrating, sometimes hopeless, but always inspiring. In my case, I am looking for a job in The Arts. My dream job would be working directly with artists and buyers, not as a gallery docent, but as a liason, working with multiple galleries at once to fulfill the needs of a client. Starting out though, I would give anything to work for an established gallery; one that represents a few "heavy hitters," but also represents new, budding artists, as well. My challenge, though, is getting my foot in the door, especially in this market. There has been debate as to whether there is even a demand for art right now. Following the Yves Saint Laurent auction a few weeks ago, I am convinced that the demand is still there. People may not be willing to pay the same prices for artwork that they did two years ago, but there are still a million people out there who would give anything to have a Marc Quinn sculpture in their forier or a Pipilotti Rist hanging on their wall. I'm inspired, and I know the right job is out there. I'll keep looking until I find it.
