Maybe SOME buyers don't "necessarily want to buy large prints" but
galleries in affluent markets (Santa Fe) simply aren't bothering to
show small prints except from the usual suspects, Adams et al... Big
revenue seems to correlate linearly to big prints. 

My gues is that small prints are thought cheaper because they're the
norm in outdoor "shows" ... displayed in cubicles on the Santa Fe
Plaza within easy walking distance of all of the successful $$$
galleries :-) 

I'm not talking about my own sales because I'm not even trying. Just
describing the facts as I see them in photographic prints sales in
this region. Perhaps different in your community than in Santa Fe.
