[Art Dealer research] Jay Jopling.

Rave Reviews










I am currently collecting some of the information and gossips on gallerist and curators.
I wondered how they became successful, and how's their public imagery being established.


Starting from Jay Jopling from White Cube Gallery.
I collected several dialogue that he has, or statement he made regards to art world and artists.


"Jay is very funny and he's the last person standing at a party. It's amazing. He has got incredible energy." He is often frank, to the point of being risque  - Matthew Slotover, the co-director of the Frieze art fair


"He is loquacious and very attentive to his artists, but it takes a particular talent to convince collectors and to go to all those parties and be a generous host. The appearance of generosity is very important."


Jay Jopling-

"To be that successful you have got to be strong in two areas," he says. "You have to choose the right artists and keep them happy, and then you have got to be able to sell to collectors and museums. It is unusual to be good at both."

Jopling has described his work as a "means of establishing a bridge between attitudes"
