    • Selling cars isn't what I thought I'd be doing at this juucrnte in my life, but that is nonetheless where I find myself, and art is one of the things that makes it a pleasure. The cars I sell (being from Europe where the art comes from) happen to be beautiful. The clients I sell them to love them for that, the way I do, and it gives us something to come together over. Conversely, the clients I don't sell them to can't see it, and I take pleasure in that too. It's not that I'm an elitist (or maybe I am). It's just that it's nice to know that a beautiful object can exist in this world as its creator wanted to, and continue to exist in defiance of mass taste. The Rothko painting doesn't burst into flames because of some idiot's snickering, and the cars I love don't vanish from the market just because so some people can't see beauty in simplicity. In its obstinate omnipresence and durability, art reassures me that truth is always present, even in the most absurd of circumstances.
