Increase in Auction Houses present
Went to the show for 2.5 hours yesterday. One of the longest lines to get in that I have ever seen, but it vanished as soon as the doors opened.
My first impression was that there was a significant decrease in prewar vintage dealers and a huge increase in Auction Houses present.
If table prices have jumped that might explan the big drop in vintage but it's a trend that has been going on for years. No shortage of new shiny dealers. Also noticed some of the larger dealers who had vintage seemed to have less than previous years.
Enjoyed chatting with Ed and finally meeting Tom in person for the first time.
