“I’m asked all the time to look at family collections of artwork but never agree to a client relationship until I see the work; and usually, I pass. I’ve never seen anything quite like Koenigsberg’s collection. I was like, wait a minute. This work has never been seen outside the home? Here I was invited into this world – and it was a very private experience and very special – and my first impression was that this work needs to be seen. It needs to be shared and shown. An unexpected result of the first exhibition of the work in September 2024 was the interest and enthusiasm among artists, specifically painters, who visited several times and brought their friends.”
