Art Dealer Diaries #411

Marcus Amerman

I had artist Marcus Amerman on today. He's somebody that we actually represent at the gallery and is collected by museums around the world. He's a true multimedia artist in that he's done fashion, paintings, glasswork, and assemblage, but he's most well known for his photo-realistic beadwork.
