I have been quite successful with my attempts not to gripe about snooty/arrogant gallery owners/attendants, but I guess today’s experiences is going to put an end to that. I have the feeling that gallery owners who might happen to read this will find all kinds of excuses, but I think that if somebody goes into a gallery he or she does deserve to be treated with at least a minimum of respect - regardless of whether that person looks like he or she is going to buy something or not. And this is especially true if the gallery is completely devoid of other visitors, so you can’t even claim you would be “wasting your time” (whatever that means in the context of a gallery).
