“I always looked for up-and-coming artists and I just look for what I like. And I realized I didn’t have to like something because somebody else like it. I like it because it appeals to my mind, it appeals to my spirit. Whether it’s a dollar or $10,” he told Architectural Digest, who brought us the images from his home.
