Crying Lost Art's Blurbs |
About me:
Almost every artist has such a story. The gallerist can't find your work; either lost it or sold it under the table, and won't negotiate a reasonable amount to cover the loss, the tragedy and the trouble. Sometimes shit happens and life goes on, other times the dealer is just not honest.
Often artists’ loose considerable sums of valuable art and time. And it's very hard to fight it in court or in the press. In the end they'll always get away with it, either going bankrupt or simply by calling you a "problematic prima Dona" and letting everybody in this tiny art world that you are a risk. Just because you asked for justice. This site is for those that are not millionaires, artist that can't afford a good lawyer. This is your site, post pics of your lost work and tell your story.
Maybe someday the art press will decide to push this problem so common in our profession. The artist shouldn't have to pay for a dealer’s idiocy. Artist make the dealer, is not the other way around.
Please, send you stories and pics to:
coscaleaves@yahoo.com
anonymous collaborations are welcome...just remember this site is not about the art dealer, it's about the work lost.

Who I'd like to meet:
The fucker who did it and who's hiding away in his momas lap.
**This is from Pedro Velez, a stryrofoam and yarn sculpture from 1999. It was last reported to be seen at Galeria Comercial, Puerto Rico. And a painting in collaboration with artist Jorge Zeno, from the "Beat Up Girl" series.
**Also lost in Comercial: Work on Paper from a series of 4 collages, by Javier Cambre. Status: all four-missing in action.
**Since March an 8'x8' version of this banner by Rogelio Báez, installed at the entrance of the library of Universidad del Sagrado Corazón campus, was taken down without permission by academic officials. The institution, Catholic , labeled the piece as obscene, (the dean thought it was a picture of two girls kissing and resident nuns complained). After months of lobbying with University officials the academic council promised to return ASAP it to the artist or refund the production costs. The banner was never found but security officials, off the record, say the piece was last seen at a dumpster in the begining of March. To this date the artist has not recieved compensation or an apology.
Hello,
**This painting was used for an exhibition at MAss. I am not sure if this show actually even went up but they still haven't given it back. The show ended in November and they haven't replied to 10 of my emails. I have heard from others in the show that they also haven't received their work. I still have to make a phone call to them, maybe tomorrow? If they don't respond after a call and email what do I do?
Thanks,Taylor Franklin Portland, Maine
**by Walter from collective W&N: "Cuando comencé en la escena de arte, tuve varias experiencias espeluznantes. La primera fue que el galerista con el que estaba trabajando intercambio alrededor de 3 piezas en pequeños formatos a un tipo que enmarca y vende arte, por marcos para piezas de otros artistas. Nunca recibí mi pago. Luego cambie de galero por otro peor. Este es el tipo de galero que paga por sus reseñas y intercambia tus obras por catálogos y se inventa subastas para vender su propias colección. En una de esas famosas subasta vendió una de mis pinturas en menos de la mita de el precio original y me dio el 50% de ese precio sin autorización ninguna." (Walter's painting was used by his ex- gallerist to buy frames for another artist show, without his permission of course).
