I truly found my love for art when my wife and I were lucky enough to work for "The Samuel Collection" (in my opinion, the largest and best collection/gallery in the world). I received a priceless education and more importantly, a pretty decent eye for works... which we all know takes many years and even more mistakes. My passion is for 20th century American paintings but I appreciate anything done well. I embrace other dealers and collectors! I'm quick to show excitement for a well done piece and I'm always happy to help others research, buy, sell, etc. I am not an appraiser but I do often have real world expectations on pieces. If I'm not the one to buy, I usually know of another dealer/collector who will. Thanks for visiting my page. -matt
