loved this! i work in an admin role in sales in a mega gallery and come from a middle class background, and the mobility to sales positions without a little black book is a frequent topic among my peers who want to move up in sales. a former colleague of mine has started a club for working class people in the arts called Working Arts Club that's based in London and is aimed at providing networking opportunities, and it's an amazing initiative!

Great piece, Tatum. I have also noticed how gallery workers and artists are being featured more and more in fiction, film, and television shows. They seem to represent the new glamorous job as they are surrounded by art, money, and famous people. Thanks!
