Stremmel Gallery — Attraction in Reno

I'll have to start with how amazingly comfortable Parker Stremmel made it when I inquired about a painting I was looking for.

This was all through a phone call and emails. Understand that this painting was fairly in high demand, and he could easily just treat me as a "number". But he took the time to have a conversation about the artist, the artwork, and the expectations of what I was looking for BEFORE even having anything on hand for me to consider.

Apparently the millions made from buyer's premiums needs to be supplemented by exorbitant attendance fees that bar average local families from attending and perpetuate the belief that art is for...
