The 8: Bill Powers

What is your line of work?

The promotion and distribution of contemporary art whether it's through half gallery, Exhibition A, Purple Diary or as a judge on Bravo's "Work of Art."

If you could own any work of art, which one would you choose?

Probably a Warhol fright wig that Andy had actually worn.

What is your earliest memory of art?

My parents had a Robert Indiana LOVE poster next to the linen closet...and the King Tut show at The Met.

Which museum/foundation would you like to be locked in one night?

Richard Prince's library upstate. Or maybe his book show in Paris.

Tom Sachs

Technics, 2002

20.500 x 18.500 in (52.07 x 46.99 cm)

"I've done prints with Wes Lang and Hanna Liden who also showed at Half Gallery as did Robert Hawkins so it's hard to single any one piece out. I like Tom Sachs's sculpture because anything made from wood -- as Jeff Koons will tell you -- takes on a spiritual dimension."
