Where the Taos art is hiding

The quality of art has, in our opinion, dropped over the last decade. This past weekend was the annual Taos Art Orginization studio tour. We went to a few and what we saw was art no longer in galleries, but sold privately. Some of it was quite spectacular.

Galleries here are charging at least 40% and many 50%. If they have a buyers' list, that's one thing. But most have no clue as to what inventory they have! So for a $1,000 piece you are forking over $500 for what?
