Ann Korologos on the Impact of Art

Art Brings out Our Humanness

TRANSCRIPT

A Gallery is a Place of Shared Experience

“A gallery is a place of art. A gallery is a place of creativity. A gallery is where I think you can lose
yourself in your moment and travel, journey, to the artist’s moment, because their art and what
they created is something to be shared.”

Collecting Fine Art You Love to Live With

“When I started collecting, actually out of Santa Fe, I had seen galleries there, it was art I wanted to
live with. Not decorative, people. People who were expressing themselves. And as time went
on, I recommended to everyone, you must meet the artist because you’ll see many more
dimensions in what appears to be a lovely painting than even you’ll realize, when you talk to
them.

Art Brings Life to Life

And so, for me, I know all our artists. Besides liking to live with it, I think art brings life to
life. It brings out our humanness. It brings out our instincts for something greater than
ourselves. I guess I’m somewhere in the middle: I appreciate the past, but I have a better feel
for living artists – contemporary, impressionistic to abstract, but basically art you live to live
with.”
