I covered the New York market for the Post beginning in the mid '80s, when the market was starting to go up. The auction houses were getting more publicity with sales of $40 million van Goghs. I think galleries were feeling left behind, and they started launching art fairs as counterweights to the auction spectacle, which it really was. The totals accelerated with the arrival of Japanese buyers, and that also drew a lot of media attention.

Judd Tully: Too many. I was primarily covering, from '86-'87, contemporary art and Impressionist and Modern art. And these were tiny sales. Minuscule. I mean I can remember a headline: "Christie's Contemporary Art: $12 million". The total. Not for, say, a Mark Grotjahn painting, but the whole sale.

And then I wrote for "The New Art Examiner" in Chicago. I went to the Museum of Modern Art library. I used to hang out there and look at publications. And I liked that publication, contacted them, and then started writing stuff about New York for them. And then it gradually—I got very lucky in the mid-eighties—and started freelancing as a stringer for the "Washington Post" for the style section. And then wrote a tremendous amount of stuff on auctions. Not that I knew anything about them.
