> The worst exhibitions take the most work

I suspect Henrik missed the more important part of that lesson: Sometimes you have no choice but to work with someone who's difficult.

Why? To be quite frank, finding someone to work with is difficult, too. As Henrik states:

> I was the only person who applied for the job at the gallery

I suspect that, if the gallery chose to fire the artists that Henrik didn't like working with, there would be no art to show; and thus no gallery.

The way to solve that would be for Henrik to be more involved in choosing the artists; and for the gallery to cast a wider net when searching for artists. That implies a sense of exclusivity that may or may not be part of the gallery's core mission.
