In Nashville’s The Tennessean, MiChelle Jones, writing about “The Contemporary Portrait” exhibit at the LeQuire Gallery, explains that the gallery’s portrait business is not suffering and notes that the exhibition started as an economic trend.
“Gallery director Elizabeth Cave says she noticed a strange thing: Despite the increasingly bad economic news, commissions for portraits had remained steady; in fact, there seemed to be an increase in demand.”
“It’s been a big part of Alan (LeQuire)’s work for 25 years,” Cave said during the show’s packed opening, “but the last six months have been especially busy.”
