Georg Baselitz

Um, very, very good show.

Um, an incredible, incredible show of Baselitz, um-

Mm

... at the great Au-

Fucking A. Um, uh, what else did I see? Now I'm distracted and can't focus.

It's fine.

I mean, you saw a good Baselitz show, and I think people can just Google Baselitz.

I mean a mind-bendingly good Baselitz show.

We do t- we do secondary market dealing in artists that he actually, um, discovered sometimes.

For example, Baselitz, um, he discovered Baselitz, he discovered Fontana, he did a lot of work with Picabia, et cetera.

And so we're continuing his legacy while also incorporating, uh, next generation artists into the program, and we're having a lot of fun with that and we feel like it's really important to support artists.

There is an interesting contradiction, I guess, um, where we are, um, digitalizing more and more of, of the art market, yet the major fairs, dinners, opening and personal, um, relationships seem to be as important as ever.

And I think what's really important, what I hope that this generation and the next generation will continue doing, is to continue learning and learning about art history and learning about how we came to this place and developing your own sense of judgment and your own taste.

Because only that way can you really discover artists and also support those that are not popular at the time.

Because trust me, when my father f- found Fontana, when he found Warhol, and when he found Baselitz, they were not the popular artists, but he really loved what they did.

And I think, and I hope, that in the future there will be collectors who will look at an artist that's young now and say, "You know what? I love this artist and I'm gonna support him." Because at the end of it, the artist is the engine of the cultural system, and the artist is the one that's representing the zeitgeist, and everything else derives from that.

That's a very Korean taste.

Is that purely Korean? Because you mentioned quite a few, like Baselitz, you mentioned quite a few international names that were sold.

So what are you seeing the bulk of? The

traditional Korean aesthetics, especially from the modern movement, I think they still play an important role.
