"When you enter the venue—be it a tent, airport hangar or convention centre—there is the feeling of anticipation and excitement of what you will see that is new, thought-provoking and unexpected. It's an experience for the senses. I'm looking forward to this year's Frieze and new discoveries!"
"The first 'serious' piece I bought was at an art auction at the Century Plaza Hotel when I was in high school. I went with my dad and bought an Alexander Calder signed print for $200! It's still hanging in my house. Little did I know what was to come."
"Ed Ruscha's Pico and Sepulveda (2001). Why? Well, during college I worked at the old Scotch & Sirloin restaurant, which was located on the corner of—you guessed it!—Pico and Sepulveda."
