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.

I don't know what 'loyal' means.

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

The so-called "secondary market" has also always been something that I'm comfortable with. I'm not a dealer who turns his nose up at that part of the business. I'm an art dealer - my primary responsibility is to represent the artist.

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.
