"Art
Guide, The Big Six: Seattle's Longest-Lasting Art Dealers" A television salesman, a department store executive, a lawyer-turned-librarian, a former graduate student in American art history, a psychologist, and an interior designer: these are the people who became Seattle's longest-lasting art dealers, respectively, Gordon Woodside, Donald Foster, Francine Seders, Sam Davidson, Barbara Mack, and William Traver. As the Seattle art scene reaches an uneasy maturity in the midst of a troubled economy, various social and political crises, and shifting collector demographics, it is worth talking to the stalwarts who became the establishment and who saw the transition from a coterie of wealthy people directly supporting artists to a wide-open art community with many galleries and several hundred practicing and exhibiting artists. They have witnessed the rise and fall of the Northwest School and its replacement by a far bigger, younger and more diverse group of artists. Today's Big Six dealers concentrate on a mixture of emerging and well-known artists, a broad variety of media including the crafts, and high standards for presentation, display, publications and lighting, along with the hard-won assumptions of honesty, integrity and reliable advice.
