The art market is global now, and theres becoming more of an international consensus about what constitutes good art.
Professionally, what comes first is representing the artist.Whether they're alive or dead.
The way you present your work has a lot to do with how people receive and regard it.
I play hard. So the critical stuff doesn't surprise me or bother me.
Honestly, I grew up in pretty modest circumstances. We were a middle-class family.
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.
