As Director of the one of the foremost galleries in America, Gray talks about the gallery’s successful business model including his rigorous criteria for the quality of art he shows, involvement in the secondary market, and maintaining integrity in the gallery’s relationships with artists and collectors.
“For a work to be satisfying for me to own and to live with, it has to be successful on a conceptual level and on a visual level. It has to have an intuitive access to it to start with, then it needs to succeed beneath the surface for me. Otherwise I get bored with it.”
