Art dealing in numbers

July 15 2011

Today we finished taking down our Van Dyck exhibition, which was rather sad. The last two weeks have been unduly manic, with an exhibition, Master Paintings Week, the Masterpiece fair, the Old Master sales, and our television series, Fake or Fortune?. So here's a numerical rundown of what happened: 

  • Pictures transported around London: 39
  • 'Opening nights' attended: 3
  • Lectures given: 3
  • Auctions viewed: 5
  • Trips to the library: 3
  • Bids made: 3
  • Pictures bought: 0
  • Pictures sold: 14
  • Visits to our Van Dyck exhibition: over 1,000 (in total)
  • Visits to this site: over 2,000
  • Fake Renoirs shown to me after 'Fake or Fortune?': 3
  • No. of people who saw my mug on the telly: over 4m
  • Times recognised in the street: 1
