I enjoyed the doubletakes made by people as they saw that price and then looked for that piece &#8211; but I was quite serious about the price.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dresan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/coralhighrez.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"514\" alt=\"coralhighrez.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Sandi needed the piece to fill out the show &#8211; its colorspace and spiral motif really brought things together, and it fit perfectly on the wall &#8211; but it was an anniversary gift to me, the painting was originally priced at $2400, I wouldn\u2019t let it go for ten times that &#8211; and Kaleid Gallery would get half. So I don\u2019t want to see it go &#8211; but if you want to cough up ~$50K for it, I\u2019m happy to buy Kaleid Gallery some new lights and Sandi a new truck with the proceeds (after Uncle Sam takes his cut).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dresan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/20160401_193126.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" alt=\"20160401_193126.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Many, many people came by, and we all stayed so late the gallery eventually had to kick us out (that\u2019s a slight lie; the last four of us chatted with the docent for half an hour after he closed the outer door).
