‘Business Cards for Artists’

 

General Culture

“A lawyer/collector friend of mine once told me that having a good business card was one of the most important statements you can make to the world that they should take you seriously. […] I know myself that after an art fair or reception, when I later empty my pockets of all the collected business cards, I do make subtle judgments about people based on their quality. Having invested in themselves (as a good card suggests they have), I’m more willing to take them seriously in the abstracted context of remembering our conversation or why I took their card in the first place.” - Ed Winkleman
