Honey! They’ve shrunk the President!
Jan Indrans, President ASV, is soon to return from foreign parts. He has sent images of his trip - and provided inspiration for discussion and future work. The rest of this newsletter contains thoughts from members on the nature of sculpture - the presentation of it - and the pricing.... food for thought. We look forward to welcoming Jan home!

Pricing Sculpture for Exhibition
It is Annual Show time and we all have the matter of working out what price we should put on our pieces.
Over the years a number of people have asked me how to work this out. My response is always that it should start with an objective calculation as to what it should bring and then a subjective decision as to what you think is reasonable.
