It was an extraordinary couple of weeks here in New York City for the May auctions that included what one publication called, “the best bidding battle ever.” My attempt to win the iconic painting “The Sugar Shack” by Ernie Barnes for a client captured the media and the artworld’s attention!

Prior to World War II, Paris was among the most revered cities in which to acquire contemporary art.

I had the pleasure of writing a curatorial proposal for a major Minimalist collection. The collectors already had examples of many of the giants from within the field, from Donald Judd to John McCracken.

One of the most exciting avenues for acquiring artwork is at auction. It is not, however, for the faint of heart and the right strategy makes all the difference.

“Fit” is a term one often hears in architecture and refers to a harmonious balance between multiple elements or factors. The concept of “Fit” is one that I utilize in the process of collection-building.
