Most people don’t realize I started my career in the PhD program of African Art History and UC Santa Barbara. It was my professor Skip Cole who pointed out the obvious one day at lunch “you don’t have to have a PhD in African Art do be an Oceanic Art dealer.” He realized what I hadn’t, and I will always be in his debt for helping with that decision. Skip went with me once to Papua New Guinea and this is my one photo of the trip, circa 2004.
