an you tell us more about what an art dealer and consultant do? As an art consultant, I help clients acquire artworks. I educate them about the art market and how to purchase art as an asset. I buy and sell artworks in the secondary and primary markets. As a primary art dealer, I represent artists, organize shows, place artists in the top collections. Both titles are overlapping. Both aim at providing asset class artworks to clients. At such a young age, you’ve accomplished so much internationally, such as founding ARTSop art consulting, written your book, you’ve hosted previews and exhibits everywhere from Hong Kong, Bombay, Paris, New York, and more. How does one even begin the path to working with art internationally? To work with art internationally, you need an amazing trustworthy team around the world. You need to be perfect at logistics. I had a client base in almost all cities I showcased in. Or I had a great dealer that I worked in conjunction with who helped bring in the client base. The art world insiders are a very small tight knit circuit. Inviting the art world and connecting with them is important. I do have many plans for expansion coming up. We just opened our first permanent space in Echo Park. Our first artist, Lindsay Dawn, had a sold out first show.
