Cool-hunter extraordinaire. Biggest claim to fame is "discovering" Matthew Barney. Curator as much as casting director, picks good-looking (male) artists who are not necessarily the best artists. Contemporary Hans Namuth figure - framing what the image of the "artist" means to the mainstream (as opposed to art). Does not have a record of "discovering" women (shock!!!). Curates shows and acts as matchmaker, introduces artists to dealers.
A "downtown" version of Christoph de Menil. Stubborn, uncompromising, cunty. Depending on which side of the fence you are on, it could work for/against you.

I deleted a comment that received a lot of criticism.
I can absolutely see how the information may be germane, but more elucidation from the commenter is necessary.
Thanks Dude.
