...guess what kind of dealing structure will emerge from this mud wrestling in the '90s? Pessimists think the world contemporary art market, just like the communications industry, could implode into six or seven megadealers, each with an international corporate base formed by gobbling up aging or lesser competitors. The middle rank of dealers will have been squeezed out by the raids on their artists and stock, and at the bottom of the heap a litter of small galleries, treated as seedbeds by those on top, will be kept to service the impression of healthy diversity...

Think of the novelty of an extended family forced to spend the day doing little other than talking, eating and digesting. Distractions are gloriously limited: the malls are closed and the televised sports offerings sparse. Unlike New Year's Eve, no one feels compelled to have the time of one's life or broods unduly when reality fails to conform to these exaggerated expectations.
