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

The sun never sets on my gallery.

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

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

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

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.
