After I was shocked last week to see a major arts journal publish an article endorsing continued attacks on artworks, my resulting thoughts coalesced in the form of a heartfelt letter to the climate activists contemplating future attacks.

As a young dealer of American art, I sometimes looked enviously at dealers in Old Masters and French Impressionist art. Not only did they have excuses for frequent trips to art fairs in Europe, but they also had a worldwide clientele. The major Impressionist and Modern sales at Sotheby’s and Christie’s were black-tie, invitation-required, champagne-fueled, evening affairs with plenty of what the daily papers called “celebs” in attendance.

WOULD YOU CHOOSE A Natural, Lab-Grown, OR INHERITED Diamond? Everyone deserves a diamond that they truly love. This is what I tell all of my clients. While not all of us are lucky enough to inherit a diamond, we all have the option to create our own custom engagement ring. Recently, a client came to me looking to do just that for his girlfriend. They had been discussing their engagement and spoke about the possibility of using an inherited diamond they already owned.

As human beings, we often think of the cost of things. It is my opinion that we think about the cost too much. It keeps us from achieving something truly great. For instance, we may consider starting to get up and exercise every morning, but decide against it when we consider the 30 minutes of sleep we’re going to lose by getting up early to exercise.

The market for fine art is ever-evolving and while most news about the gallery field focuses on blue chip outposts in major cosmopolitan centers the vast majority of working artists operate within their own regional communities dotted around the United States. The average artist will never see their work acquired by a museum, will not receive an institutional retrospective, and likely will struggle to find robust gallery representation.

We’ve all been there before. You drive for an hour for an inspection. When you get there, you knock on the door, only to have it opened by the kids. You ask them if their parents are home, to which they respond, “No.” When you call the parents, they say something like, “Oh, I’m not home right now, but the kids will let you in.” Now what? Where do you go from there?

A problem that I’ve run into several times during my coaching, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, is rush orders. Appraisers don’t know what to do. They’re scheduled out 4, 5, 8 weeks, and then they get a call from someone they’ve done business for for years with a rush order that needs to be done as soon as possible. They don’t want to disappoint their clients, but they also don’t have time to fit the rush order in.

I suck. No, really I do. I am a sad specimen of a human being. I know what I should do every day to live a healthy, productive, and wealthy lifestyle, but I don’t do it. Well, I do it much of the time, but I just am not as consistent as I should be. As a mentor for others, I feel especially aware of my less than stellar actions. Nothing irks me quite like the self-improvement ‘gurus’ who are all talk and little action.

Hopefully, your answer is not, “Hit the snooze, closed my eyes again, rolled over, and fell back to sleep.” What did you do the morning before and the one before that?

With few exceptions, we humans are creatures of habit, and we do things pretty much the same every day, from week to week, from month to month, from year to year, and… well, you get the point
