What's a secondary art market? It's a sale of works that have been sold before and are back on the market. The advantage of buying these pre-owned works, from the collector's point of view, is the clear picture it gives for a work's resale value and present worth in the volatile art market. Attend one during Off the Wall, tonight from 6 to 9 p.m. at Sellars Project Space, 4383 Tennyson Street, where gallery-goers will have a chance to purchase works by Daniel Sprick, Mark Travis, Michelle Torrez, Kevin Weckbach, Martha Daniels, Wilma Fiori, Mary Scrimgeour, George Carlson and many others, courtesy of the Art Services Company. The evening will also serve as the kickoff for Art Services' new online Secondary Art Market Program. Following is a preview featuring some of tonight's secondary art market works.
