Interview with collector Martin Z. Margulies

http://www.vernissage.tv | Martin Z. Margulies is collecting art since more than 30 years already, the Margulies Collection at the Warehouse celebrates a decade of exhibitions and educational programming. Currently, during Art Basel Miami Beach and through April 2009, the Collection presents work - among others - by Magdalena Abakanovicz, Isaac Julien, and George Osodi.
In this video, Martin Z. Margulies talks about the recent acquisitions, the common thread of the collection, the roots of his interest in art, what things have changed and stayed the same over the years, and the collaboration with the Lotus House (a shelter for homeless women and children, run by Martin Z. Margulies's wife Constance Collins Margulies).

Margulies is a cool guy and his wife seems to have her head in a good space.  Commenter, honorablegenius, on this page sounds like he or she skipped breakfast and is taking it out on Martin. I'm a genius, 2, honorable, really!

Apparently, Martin Z. Margulies has no clue concerning the abstract art movement of the 20th century and the avant garde artists who made a contribution to that effort. This is where we can recognize an education value for the 21st century. He has fallen into a subculture and subeconomy. His art and concept of wealth is worthless.
