We are very happy to announce that if you missed seeing the 14th International Virtual ARC Salon Exhibition at Sothebys.com, you are not too late! The entirety of the show including the written interview, virtual walk through space and 70 video interviews with the exhibiting artists are still on view and will remain on view indefinitely. Feel free to take your time and come back again and again to enjoy the totality of the show at your own pace.  The videos come from around the world and collectively form a powerful story of the representational art movement, totaling 2 hours of edited video footage!
