This is a forum for sharing knowledge, gaining insights and shaping opinions. We will not sit on the fence here or play favorites. The language of art has changed in a blink of a year– today there are market makers, power brokers, savvy investors, flippers, fakes and fund managers. Collectors are nearly extinct. Why? Because collectors can see and COLLECTORS MIND. So together, let’s take a small step to make today’s buyers into tomorrow’s collectors. The future of art depends on it!
This space will be quiet for a bit as I head off to Art Basel this evening but promise to give you a full account ‘from the floor’ once I get back so check in again after a week. Until then have a good one!

My opinions, observations and analysis are based on over ten active years collecting art. Understanding, appreciating & collecting art is an exhilarating yet time consuming process that demands total integration. There are simply no shortcuts to developing a trained eye that responds as well as rejects. I graduated in 2000 with Beta Gamma Sigma honors and an MBA degree from Emory University, Atlanta. Up until 2004 I was a professional at Microsoft’s headquarters in Seattle where I spent a good part of my time looking at art from a global perspective.
