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

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.

The way you present your work has a lot to do with how people receive and regard it.

I think functioning as a business manager can be a hindrance to having a real dialogue with the artist. I do think that artists need good lawyers and accountants, because they're dealing with serious money. But an artist who stands behind a manager? That's a little different. I think that can be a bad buffer.

The sun never sets on my gallery.

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