Sold art clogging up dealer sites 2 2

Keeping sold or traded OA on dealers sites doesn’t bother me.

in fact, I see it as a positive thing, knowing the art exists, and we have an image of it as verification.

Rationalizing poor business practices with a "they are actually museums" argument is quite a feat

I don't want this in the dealer's "for sale" listings forever, any more than I want a car dealer's lanes filled with blow-up balloons representing the cars he already sold.

But I do agree that an aggregated record of all past sales would be valuable, all on one web site somewhere. Just like those web sites where you can see what all the houses in your neighborhood previously sold for.
