My relationship with András Szántó goes back more than two decades, to when he was at Columbia Journalism School. I applied for a fellowship there and was rejected. It's my "favorite failure," because it began our great friendship, our short-lived but pioneering Artworldsalon blog in 2007, and many Art Basel-related collaborations.
András interviewed me for the third book in his "Future of…" series. I was honored to contribute to a project so focused on documenting the ideas, people, and forces shaping culture's next chapter. Our conversation let us revisit the extraordinary changes we have witnessed together, from globalization and the rise of Instagram to the growing pressure to recast the gallery model. In that sense, it was less an interview than yet another chapter in a long-running conversation between two people who have spent their careers trying to understand where the art world is going.
