A sincere thank you to Professor Maria Cudowska and the Syracuse University College of Law for inviting me back to speak, this time on the intersection of Art, AI, and National Security. I went in thinking I’d be sharing a few “notes from the field,” but left realizing I may have learned just as much […]

Was Banksy really unmasked? And perhaps the more important question: what do we lose as a society by doing so? I should begin with a confession. I was a journalism student in college. I understand the impulse to break a story. Journalists are, by nature, professional curiosity machines. Give us a mystery and we will

Jean-Michel Basquiat’s market is often discussed through the lens of eight-figure paintings and museum-level drawings. Less frequently examined—but increasingly important to collectors—is the role of estate-authorized prints in shaping access, scholarship, and long-term market participation. 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

As the son of Mr. Brainwash (Thierry Guetta), one of the world’s most recognizable street/pop artists, HIJACK’s early years were spent surrounded by the likes of Banksy, Shepard Fairey, and Space Invader.
