It’s rare to see serious art collectors at gallery openings. If you do, catch them if you can. They move through a crowd with ninja stealth; sliding in and out of the space faster than it takes a sip of wine to trickle down your throat.
Chicago-based collectors Daniel T. Parker (left) and Patric McCoy (right) exhibit a different kind of art opening etiquette: They actually mingle with the minions.
Their presence at Blanc Gallery’s reception for Raub Welch on February 23rd is a strong indicator that the artist is within inches of radar detection. Almost an hour after the event officially ended,BlackArtistNews observed McCoy inspecting Welch’s work like a trained detective. Now that’sserious.
