Our sister site talks to Cynthia Rowley about Exhibition A, her new website selling affordable modern art. Sample quote: "That's the great thing about the world now is that art and design and fashion and consumerism are all so seamless. Everything is being blurred and I think that it's really an evolution—it's what we're seeing. Richard Phillips is progressive within the balance of art and commerce, then Yoshitomo Nara, [Damien] Hirst's cabinets, Murakami on everything. All of this commercialism becoming our identity...its the same thing with designer collaborations with stores like Target." [Racked National]
