Thomas talks with us about how he started collecting and buying art in the 1970s, changes he's seen as the market has developed and shows he's working on for 2023, including the American Art Fair, which takes place May 13-16, 2023, in New York City. The episode is brought to you by American Fine Art Magazine.

The American Art Fair celebrates its eighteenth year from May 10-13, 2025 at the elegant, landmarked Bohemian National Hall, 321 East 73rd Street, New York City. The Fair focuses on American 18th-21st century works with hundreds of landscapes, portraits, still lifes, studies, and sculpture exhibited by 17 premier specialists

The Winter Show is the premier art, antiques, and design fair in America, featuring many of the world's top experts in the fine and decorative arts. The Winter Show, held annually at the Park Avenue Armory, showcases a breadth of works spanning 5,000 years presented by over 70 internationally renowned dealers. Myriad works from paintings and works on paper, fine furniture, and design, to jewelry, and contemporary ceramics and glass will be on view. Famed for its rigorous vetting practices carried out by a committee of 120 experts, the Fair's exhibitors offer works of the highest standards of authenticity and quality in the industry. The Fair was established in the mid-1950s as a benefit for East Side House Settlement and, by the end of that decade, had firmly established itself as the leading event of its kind in the United States. East Side House is a community-based organization serving the Bronx and Northern Manhattan; its programs focus on education and technology as gateways out of poverty and as the keys to economic opportunity. All ticket sales proceeds from the Show provide unrestricted funds for East Side House's life-changing programs.

We are exhibiting works by American artists working in abstraction in the 1930’s and 1940’s who were inspired by the Collage process. It will include oils, watercolors and collages by such artists as George L.K. Morris, Charles Green Shaw, Emil Bisttram, Raymond Jonson, and Werner Drewes.
