This month 1st Dibs is featuring Kenny Schachter in its Introspective Magazine.   In it he discusses his journey through the art world starting in New York to now in London. How he went from stock broker, to a champion for lesser-known emerging artists and private dealer selling multi-million dollar works of art.

Kenny specializes in Gerhard Richter, Sigmar Polke, Picasso (60s canvases), Warhol, Basquiat, and Ai Weiwei.  His private collection includes furniture by Iranian architect Zaha Hadid, Maria Pergay, and Arik Levy.  He has commissioned cars, and buildings from Hadid. He is, as the article states, “intelligent, witty and bang on the money” which can be read in his writings for various publications on art and posts on his Facebook page and blog. “Always interested in shaking up the norm” he has also collaborated with both Rem Koolhaas and Hadid on motorboats as well.

Check out his gallery Rove on Hoxton Square in East London and visit his website here.
