Another season begins

It's the beginning of the Fall season in the art world, when galleries re-open after a long haitus in August, dealers and art advisors begin reconnecting with clients, artists prepare for their first showings, wine bottles are opened, invitations for galas and luncheons pour into collectors' mailboxes, calendars are organized for the season ahead, and everyone is waiting in anticipation for the art fairs and auctions coming this Fall when the market is tested, paintings and other objects trade hands, and careers are made or broken. Already critics have begun chronicling the goings-on in their various communities, such as writer Paul Klein in Chicago, whose Art Letter should begin appearing regularly in the Huffington Post. It's an exciting time.
