Here is another auction house employee who has decided to switch sides, joining the art dealer ranks. Mr. Gorvy is just one of many who have moved over during the past couple of years. Kelly Crow, in her WSJ article states that: His move follows a stream of high-profile departures of auction executives in the past year as the world’s major houses grapple with a contracting art market. More specifically, they are dealing with a contracting auction market (and immense competition from other, smaller, rooms). Collectors are still buying and selling; however, the pendulum has swung back to the art dealer side. This is nothing new in our world.
