Not there for the opening. There is some trust involved that the gallery people know how to do their gallery jobs. Like hanging the pictures. It would occur to few of their artists to argue with them but they may have some say in the matter especially if they are anywhere around when the hanging takes place.. Most hang in the straight like all their others shows had been hung. Now and then only in the past few years you'll now see them with prints in little groupings; a thing we used to abhor for decades but it turns out to be not that bad.
