We are not trying to furnish everyone. A run is small enough that one upholsterer takes every piece in it from bare frame to finished cover and signs the underside. When the run ends we hang the drawing in the workshop and start the next — the same frame is never made twice in the same cloth.
Most runs are spoken for before they reach the gallery floor. The people on our list see the drawings a month ahead of everyone else.
