“During these past few boom years, it seems to me that people have been buying with their ears rather than with their eyes. My clientele has always been more passionate about what they collect, what they buy. They are confident and often self-made people. They are obsessive and uncompromising, always on the hunt for the original and the authentic. And they look to me as a scout.”
