Leo Castelli

Article Abstract:

Leo Castelli was an art dealer who was able to select works by unknown painters who then became famous. He gave one-man shows to a number of artists such as Frank Stella Roy Lichenstein and Jasper Johns. Castelli's mother was Italian, and his father was a Hungarian-Jewish banker. He moved to the US and studied art history after initially working in insurance and banking in Europe. He was employed in intelligence by the US government after being drafted into the army. His career as an art dealer took off from 1957, when he was 50-years-old.

The colour of money

Article Abstract:

The world market for antiquities and art is estimated to be worth $17 billion in 1999. Kusin and Company's David Kusin aims to set up art price indices which will include art works that have not reached reserve prices, and which will cover 100 categories. Prices of art works do not seem to follow the same pattern as for stock markets. Participants in the market would benefit from a more informed market, and investors in art would be reminded of the capital that they own.
