David's nomination by MoMA to the newly formed MoMA PS1 board was an experiment. Both of us were apprehensive but we soon fell madly in love. His passion for contemporary art had just been ignited. I re-saw artists through his eyes, and he saw possible exhibitions of artists through my eyes. He was loved and feared by artists for his intelligence, his understanding and his belief that each artwork should be made with an even greater passion than he had for it.
On this tenth anniversary of his death, I believe he would be happy to know that, with the support of Teiger Foundation, curatorial teams at PS1 will continue to creatively instigate the controlled madness we call making exhibitions. David was most comfortable in the company of artists and curators.
