I attended a gallery tour at Mishkin on November 3rd, 2009 for Arts at Baruch Workshop. The workshop was about a contemporary Artist named Mercedes Matter. Unfortunately she died; however, her artworks are continuing her legacy. We have not only learned how to observe and perceive an art work; howver, we also learned the business perspetive of the art. The curator has told us that a lot of businessowners and entreprenuers have invested in artwork because the risk of the cost and value of art work is very favorable in the twentieth century. For example, the curator told us that the Chase bank and other banks also invested in these kinds of art works lately. Although Mercedes was not popular like Picasso or Van Gogh, she has contributed a lot to the study of art. Her artworks are very contemporary and not scaled to reality. She has put much more o artistic perspective on the object that she was drawing and painting. The gallery tour was great and I would go again if Baruch holds more art gallery tour similar to this.
