I never really took a proper art class in college. I just started reading art magazines and going to galleries.

Honestly, I grew up in pretty modest circumstances. We were a middle-class family.

The art market is global now, and theres becoming more of an international consensus about what constitutes good art.

Working with younger artists kind of tests your judgment. You're not always right, but when you are, it's exciting.

I play hard. So the critical stuff doesn't surprise me or bother me.

For me, collecting is sort of a natural extension of being an art dealer, because if you don't want to collect the artist, then you probably shouldn't be representing them.

When a collector says, "You've got to educate me," or "What's a good investment?" then I don't know what to say. I have no idea. Let's face it, I'm probably going to recommend artists that I represent.
