Only you and the framer will ever know!<BR/><BR/>I tend to show work which is recent - but do make an exception for themed shows - simply because I'm not going to produce something new when I have a perfectly good unsold piece that's not had an outing before!Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-14684306970924233312007-09-22T20:58:00.000-02:302007-09-22T20:58:00.000-02:30I guess I have always dated my work with the year ...I guess I have always dated my work with the year and not really thought much about before Stacy.<BR/><BR/>Nothing has triggered me to think that the public may be put off by 'older' art, but it has me thinking. Maybe the date is better off on the back of the work instead of the front...Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-85273298402609340682007-09-22T12:01:00.000-02:302007-09-22T12:01:00.000-02:30Interesting topic Jeanette!

I'll be reading to see what other people say. <BR/><BR/>Since I don't complete a lot of new pieces every year, I do show older ones when I do an art fair type venue. I have paintings hung that I did in 2003. In exhibitions where I only have one or two pieces hanging I typically show pieces which I completed in the last year.<BR/><BR/>Some local artists I know don't date their art at all because the buying public might consider a piece beyond it's "best buy" date.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02494806312648513169noreply@blogger.com
