Dealer and Collector of fine art

Nice interview conducted by Steven M.L. Anderson with dealer/collector Eugene V. Thaw in Architectural Digest January 2008. This interview talks about Mr. Thaws dealing with various artists and patrons over the course of his life.  How he mainly dealt with Rothko and Pollock paintings...which he helped auction off through Sotheby's.

Personally from my point of view, its always interesting how and when money comes into play. Most artist back then and even today will never be able to sell their paintings for a good value. Only it seems after artists die that the paintings all of a sudden become important and collector worthy.  I wish that could change.
