I am the publisher of this magazine to the right on the world of European Old Masters, with thematic coverage of the great classics of that genre, recent Sotheby's-Christie's-Phillips auction results and in-depth market analyses. I work as well as a dealer and advisor in Old Masters to private clients, with a focus on Northern European Late Gothic and Early Renaissance works as well as Spanish-Flemish and Dutch Baroque.  My work in this  area consists of curating small, exquisite collections for private clients that are fundamentally based on Old Masters themes or upon Old Masters-Classic Modern pairings that enhance and even interchange each category.  I have personal relationships with most of the top international Old Masters art dealers and with two of the major auction houses.  I am personally acquainted with the curators of private collections as well as experts and scholars who have worked for the world's most exclusive collections and-or the most respected publications in this field.  I also work with an art finance expert and a representative of one of the most distinguished banks in the United States on art market analyses.

 In addition, I am an literary author and essayist. I started my career as an overseas correspondent for The Wall Street Journal Europe and The International Herald Tribune.  My foray into Old Masters grew from this journalistic experience while living many years in Vienna, Austria, when I was offered a position by the owner of one of the great Old Masters collections in Europe in a public diplomacy/public affairs capacity.
