A lot of artists are involved with fabrication. Artists today are making more objects and many of them need the participation of a dealer in order to facilitate and provide support for projects. So that has changed. But I don't know if what it means to be an artist has really changed. I hope that it hasn't.

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

Professionally, what comes first is representing the artist.Whether they're alive or dead.

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.

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.
