What do you like about this subject?

Helping people understand more about art and answer questions without being condescending. I enjoy providing a "non-snobby" source for art information and services.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Most art will never be identified. For every listed artist there are a million who are unlisted and unknown.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

A signed and numbered print does not mean the artist is listed. There is a lot of art that represents the first and last artistic effort by that person.
