Michael Findlay started directing gallery programs in 1960s New York and has written about that period in his latest book, Portrait of the Art Dealer as a Young Man: New York in the Sixties.

I talk with Michael about his extensive career and how things have changed over the past 60 years.

He discusses the qualities of a good collector, the evolving relationship between dealer and artist, and the current focus of many collectors on art as investment rather than appreciation. We also talk about the importance of looking—of immersing oneself in the art rather than relying on text and labels.

We finish up with a funny personal story about Andy Warhol.
