The social networking phenomenon is a fact of modern life, even if your life is devoted to the sales of 18th century decorative arts. Odd, isn’t it, that as ordinary life experiences become more intrusive, people wish to expose what’s left of their private lives, even their private parts, to complete strangers.
With all that, keeping our galleries as spaces open to whomever, we’ve got used to being public people. Consequently, we shall bow to the moving spirit of the age, and let those of you who are interested keep tabs on the latest developments in our world on Twitter.
Our ‘tweets’ may not be as exciting as those from John Mayer- who, I understand, is a twitter-holic- but for those of you who access our site with some frequency, they will be convenient- specific site updates including new inventory, information about the art world generally, and, finally, and specifically for you, my 20 or so devoted readers, blog updates. As well, we’d like to introduce Twitter as we move toward our antiques show season, starting in a couple of weeks with the Los Angeles Antiques Show. With a number of new dealers at this year’s show, tweets will include particularly noteworthy gear at the show. Noteworthy in a good way, of course- something along the lines of must-have.
