à The first major breakthrough in representing the work of the
Artist ß
How to create proper provenance about
original oils sold before an artist becomes well know is one of the issues that
the Foundation for Creative Extension and Acquisition is interested in framing.

Business-to-Business and Business-to-Client processes
Barry,
Please let me know if we have a communication to you regarding the immediate production of 2 each of ten small Giclees on paper [1].
I would like to verify that each of these small Giclees on paper would be delivered in it's own envelop (so that I am not faced with having to figure out how to acquire these envelops). This is a critical issue, and so I should inquire specifically about the availability of 20 envelops in your stock. The non-presence of these envelopes will change what can be done at the signing. The acquisition of product for businesses of the virtualTaos network (www.virtualTaos.net) is a key part of the business-to-business ecosystem for Taos art expression. The design of an interface (see [40] and [41] ) for artistic product acquisition is a key part of the business-to-client transactions. Acquisition plays a vital role in both cases.
I would also hope that the cost would be a good as you can make it so that I can manage the Foundation's scarce resources while at the same time allowing you to be compensated for your consistently high quality work. Having 20 images done at the same time should have some scalability factor, even if it is only 10%.
If you would please send a note (email) to me stating that you have read this message, then I can let this process go on its own speed. I am not really ever sure if email goes through - given the poor state of email communication across the board.
The discussions Kelly and I have had about the “prosperity gospel” indicate that this religious belief hides and disguises real knowledge that would come from an individual’s second sense. The question of “where things come from” is answered with a mechanism that steals from the individual a true and proper understanding of the seen and unseen forces. Often times, a church structure exists that uses the mechanism for its own interest, and thus can serve as a type of parasite. Some businesses have taken on many of the same parasitic properties, always taking the maximum advantage over the individual. In the case of the artist, our society has recognized a phenomenon where by galleries or other business processes engage in a swindling of the artist. The artist is vulnerable because of the artist his tuned him/herself into a creative processes that cannot be accomplished by someone, or something, that has tuned into the acquisition activities.
As we all know, communication is essential to knowing a little about how to interface business to business processes, and the acquisition processes in commodity exchanges is the key to the Foundations economic future.
My hope would be that we could have the signing of the 20 small Giclees on paper this Saturday afternoon. If this is the case, then people who will be here will be able to purchase one just one but perhaps one each.
This would help the Foundation take the next step.
Thanks
Paul
