Answers to some of the questions posed on our walk-through of the Impressionist and Modern Art Preview at Sotheby’s on May 4th. Yes, you can get close enough to actually touch the Van Gough. But you won’t, right? No, those men with aprons and gloves are not the caterers. They are art handlers and they […]

What a great weekend! On Saturday we took a group through Chelsea and on Sunday another group through the heart of the Lower East Side. The art is different and the neighborhoods so very different but there are a few things the two tours had in common. The first was perfect weather. The second was […]

The latest show at Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art (HVCCA) is entitled “Love” and it was mounted in conjunction with a series of new exhibitions going on throughout the area based on the theme of the Seven Virtues and the Seven Deadly Sins.

The talk was sponsored by Westchester Jewish Community Services and I spoke about Jewish artists in post-WWII America. Artists I chose were Rothko, Krasner, Frankenthaler, Newman and Gottleib. […]

July 14, 2014 I brought eleven artists to Art Market Hamptons this past week-end, using the clout and hospitality of the Joy Wai Gallery to exhibit where I otherwise could not, at this juncture in my short art business career, gain entrance.
