I had Jeff Mitchell on today. I've known Jeff for around 27 years and he's a really interesting guy and a very sweet man who loves art and has a unique background like so many art dealers do. This podcast tells the story of how Jeff became a leader in his field, primarily dealing in art by deceased artists, with a specialty in Maynard Dixon, which is an area that he and I have in common.We hear about the constant evolution in Jeff's life, from joining the marines to being a construction worker a couple of times, going to school for design, becoming a museum director, then a gallery owner, and finally a private dealer. He illustrates just how that happens–how somebody like Jeff has their professional life unfold like that over 45 years.When you get the opportunity to just sit down and talk with somebody in a very intimate situation where you can learn about the things that they went through, it's always unique and exciting. This is no exception and I enjoyed this podcast a great deal. Jeff Mitchell on Art Dealer Diaries episode 198.
