Every so often, something lands in front of me that refuses to sit comfortably inside the market’s neat categories. It isn’t fake.It isn’t pristine.It simply doesn’t behave. This one began in 2000 at the Rivington Street pop-ups in East London — exhibitions in the loosest sense of the word. Unmarked doors. Word-of-mouth invites. Art priced […]

Scale, Scarcity, and Iconography (2017–2018) KAWS has built one of the most recognizable visual languages of the last two decades—one that bridges fine art, design, and popular culture without ever losing its conceptual core.

Over the past decade, Basquiat’s posthumous print editions have established a clear, disciplined track record, particularly when the imagery is

In 2026, I’ll mark my 30th year selling art, three decades of learning, listening, researching, and earning wall space one conversation at a time. Nothing was handed to me. Every placement was built step-by-step. At 22, I overtalked and overexplained. Convincing someone to spend $10,000 (or heaven forbid $50,000) felt like climbing Everest in dress shoes. I
