11,438. TO ENZO

TO ENZO
And so sometimes I make changes
on things along the way, like an artist
always touching up a piece. I don't
know how value goes, but I wonder
if things are not truly valued until
they're called 'finished,' or done or
complete. Is that when these art ghouls
then jump on it and auction up the price?
But here's an idea, Enzo, Take bids.
Put out the word that you've got a new
4 foot by 6 foot pieces getting started
and have people bid numbers, early on;
it's like speculation I guess, yes, but
they can a piece for 80-grand that you
otherwise bury here, and, once called
complete and finished, by you, they can
then bud it up to their heart's content
at auction. While you go on to the next,
and do it again. It seems worth a try, to
me  -  both safeguarding and making a
market for yourself. Proclaiming 'finished'
work that you'd other wise never call done.
-
It was a bold and stormy idea, just like
the day  -  the last one of the year.
