An Art History Sweatshop

From The Santa Barbara Independent: “[Californian gallerist Frank] Goss gestures toward a large area where he plans to create what he jokingly refers to as ‘a sweatshop for art historians.’ He says that here is where the 12 seniors and graduate students from UCSB and Westmont who comprise his research team will have their library and their computer work stations. ‘They will be able to come in on their own time and research and write monographs on all the great American artists we find who have never been adequately documented or appreciated,’ he says. ‘Right now they are already producing these monographs at the rate of two a quarter, but when this room is up and running they will be able to do even more, and put it right on the Web site themselves.’”
