How many paintings are in your collection and what percentage of them are nudes of some kind?

About 1500 paintings and 65% are nudes of some kind. (975 paintings in the collection are nudes.)”

How do you decide which pieces to add to your collection, and what is your "must-have" criterion?

This question I can actually answer with some authority and this is the part where I think I can say I am an experienced collector.

Are you more interested in emerging or renowned artists?

I’m more interested in renowned artists. My budget is more interested in emerging artists. I love to find an artist before they’ve made it or even before they have gallery representation. I like to get in early. If you’ve ever seen the documentary Herb And Dorothy, about the Vogels, they are my art heroes — art stacked in every nook and cranny of their NYC apartment. An absolute dream.
