103. Interview with Felicia Veicht: Part 5
25 June 2011
– The fiasco that ensued that night was, to put it bluntly, extremely good press. Therefore, I hold nothing against Mr. Palmer for his outburst.
– It could very well have gone bad though.
– The saying is that there’s no such thing as bad publicity, but in an industry such as mine, where most patrons consider themselves enthusiasts of a higher culture and therefore not bound to the tactics of persuasion meant for less…refined individuals, there are certain types of publicity that can be bothersome.
– But, apparently, when an up and coming artist has a meltdown at his very first showing, it makes people wonder. And wonderment is the highest boon in the art industry.
– Create wonder, and art sells.
– Most of the attendants stayed after Les’s little episode, and quite a few more people stopped by. And, in the end, every piece of Les’s portfolio sold.
– It was the greatest performance by a new artist I have ever seen, indeed maybe the best for any artist in recent history. The Palm Beach Gazette, described it as “riveting,” and “breathtaking.”
– I call it amazing. Purely amazing. I just wish that Mr. Palmer had stuck around to witness his own phenomenon.
