s3e79 contemporary Japanese prints with Michael Verne


Listen Later

In this episode of Platemark, I talk with Michael Verne, the owner of the Verne Collection in Cleveland, Ohio. Mike's gallery specializes in contemporary Japanese art and works by American artists residing in Japan. We talk about the challenges and rewards of running a small gallery amid larger competitors, and the importance of finding and promoting new artists. Mike shares insights about his journey in the art world, from his childhood surrounded by art to becoming a successful gallerist without a formal art education. He recounts various personal anecdotes, including his experiences at art fairs and his unorthodox methods for discovering and showcasing artists. Mike also highlights the significance of personal relationships and passion in his business. Listeners are encouraged to visit the Verne Collection and explore the fascinating world of contemporary Japanese art.
