I am NOT an artist but I can certainly appreciate extraordinary work when I see it and I can only imagine how frustrating it must be to see one 's own artwork that is a result of hundreds of hours of time be given less than stellar exposure like the Lelands auction did. I just never understood why, when selling a significant piece extreme care does not go into showing the piece off. I mean lets face it, we are not talking about a 500 dollar Stan Musial card here, this is a significant painting that required more work to showcase than what was put into it.
For the consignor and the artist this must be very frustrating.
