KQED: Gallery Crawl - Anniversary Special: Aug/Sept 2006

Does the thought of purchasing art intimidate you? In most
metropolitan areas, there is an amazing array of art to suit all
tastes and budgets -- and the San Francisco Bay Area is no
exception. Stephen Tourell from the Toomey Tourell Gallery hosts
this special presentation of GALLERY CRAWL, giving budding
collectors tips on how to access the local art scene. He visits
with Claire P. Carlevaro from the Art Exchange Gallery to discuss
the financial aspect of investing in art. Then at the Jack Fischer
Gallery, he meets with Fischer, who explains "self-taught" and
"outsider art." Finally, Tourell gives a private viewing of his
gallery's back room and shares a few tricks of the trade.
