Curator said the contact sheets are a very big seller for Magnum, and the Maggie Thatcher set is one of the biggest. Another interesting thing she said. Magnum closely monitor click rates, sales tallies and alike. This bumps up the ratings of images where the toppermost is iconic. There is not that much curatorial intervention, or peer review on what should be a valuable image. Maggie is up there. -- der...@iinet.net.au http://members.iinet.net.au/~derbyc -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: GESO - Magnum Contacts
Won't be in Sydney this week, or even the next, but thanks for that gallery of shots, Derby. I see that your favourite kind of art fans were there for you, too. :-) On Wed, Mar 14, 2012 at 9:19 AM, Derby Chang der...@iinet.net.au wrote: Popped into the curator talk at Stills Gallery tonight for the Magnum Contacts show.
