We’re about 2 weeks away from “summer hours” at the galleries.  Galleries will either close entirely or limit their hours to near-impossible visiting times.  They will be closed on weekends and only open on afternoons during the week.  Most art magazines don’t publish in the summer and other publications generally stop recommending/reviewing gallery shows.  I myself welcome the break – I use the time to focus on improvements to the website and catch up on an enormous pile of reading.   I will still visit the galleries once a month or so and make a few recommendations, but content will be thin, and like I said – often difficult to see.

I will update the blog regularly to talk about what I’m working on this summer.  Here’s a quick list of my goals for the Fall.

• Improving the “mouse over” function of the “Review” thumbnail archive and creating a complete archive of my reviews (right now you can only see the last 4 reviews)
• Finally completing the “2% to go” feature with some exciting new tools.
• More content to the “Collecting” section so you can learn about how each piece was acquired plus my overall thoughts on building a collection.
• Integrating weekly video content to the site.
• Creating a second website!!!! – “The Two Percent” evolved pretty organically over several years and I could not be more proud of it.  The new site is something different - extremely specific, far more unique, much more interactive, and appeals to an audience that reaches far beyond NYC. The project is already well underway and I’ll be revealing more throughout the summer.
