Show notes

There's a town in Texas called Round Top. Population eighty-seven. One square mile. And in that town, an artist named John Lowry sold a single painting for $141,500. (We toured his gallery on YouTube — link's right there in his name. Watch it before or after this episode.) That's the headline. Here's the part nobody tells you: he then sold roughly $60,000 more in reproductions of that same image. Same painting.

Highlighted moments

Masters know that their catalog is N, the number of images, times M, the mediums, times P sizes. And then you get an actual SKU count, which just gets absolutely crazy, right?
Weiland's galleries have increased the price of originals 10% the first day of every year. And the only time he didn't do that was in like the peak of the recession.
