Episode 34: A Conversation with Rick Wester
from The Expert Eye · host The Expert Eye
In my continuing series of conversations with people who have shaped the Photographs market, I move back to focusing on the auction world. I sat down with Rick Wester, who, in addition to being a private dealer, consultant, and gallery owner, he has headed up the Photographs departments of 2 of 3 major auction houses, and has put together some of the most memorable sales of the last 40 years. I sat down to find out what it was like to be working in the wild west of the auction world during the 1990s and 2000s, and what lessons he learned during the ride.
