He continues, “Drawbacks? I would say they are more like challenges. Art fairs are expensive and need considerable planning and inventory management. They need to be planned well in advance, and we need to always be ready to improvise and adapt.”
As a relatively new gallery owner, Tamayo had this to say about the importance of a physical location, “I believe that a brick-and-mortar operation in the digital age is more important than ever. We use technology in about every aspect of life, and its role is to make our work easier and more efficient to maximize our greatest commodity, time.
Time is the only thing we can’t get back. That sense of constant digital connection must be counteracted with tangible connections, may it be human contact, art or nature. People comment often how fulfilling it is to visit the gallery and ‘disconnect’ for a while.”
Tamayo asks us to “stay-tuned” for information about upcoming solo shows at The Wall that include: Argentinian artist Alberto Echegaray (b.1970); New Jersey born artist Daniel Anderson (b.1979); and French artist Aurelien Couput, adding up to a busy year in Miami for this gallerist.
