Think Like An Art World Expert Christie's Education

Talking with us this week is London based artist, Dale Lewis and his representative, Jeremy Epstein Co-Founder of Edel Assanti.

We firstly spoke to Dale about how he got into producing art and his move away from textiles, and the various art institutions he attended before finding and focusing on his current practice.

We asked Jeremy how he got into the art world; what led to him start the Edel Assanti gallery and how he discovers artists that fit with the mission of the business.

Later in the conversation, we heard from both Dale and Jeremy about how they met and began working together, and the positive aspects, as well as the challenges of being represented and of representing an artist.
