Podcast appearances and mentions of curt walters

I had Christine Mollring on today. For those who don't know who she is, you need to. Christine is one of the backbones of Western art. She started her own gallery early on in the 1970s and owned Trailside Gallery until about 94. Think back on what kind of individuals were running Western art galleries back in that era. They were pretty much all men.  We talked about it a little, not a lot, because she felt like it was just what she had to do. It didn't stop her from becoming the best of the best. Christine represented some real heavy hitters back then too. People like Charles Loloma who was a very important Hopi artist and silversmith.So I think you'll have a great time. I really enjoyed it. Christine is a remarkable person and we're so fortunate to have her in the world of Western and native art. Christine Mollring on episode 256 of Art Dealer Diaries Podcast.

I had a very interesting talk with Jim Rea today. Jim helps run the Masters show at the Autry Museum along with his wife, Jodie. We get the whole story of - not only the Autry show and how it began - but of how Jim, who started out in accounting, ends up being a critical component in this very important art show at an important museum.Jim is a guy who really liked art but wasn't trained in art. Just the opposite. He's a numbers guy. That being said, he sees the world change before his very eyes as he gets exposed to more and more to great art throughout his life. From 1998 until now, Jim and Jodie have managed to put together a collection of 150 spectacular paintings.So even without his commitment and affiliation to the Autry, he's an important collector. His story is one that gives hope to all those out there just starting their own collections. There's a message you can take away from the podcast and it's that you can go from not having anything to do with the art world, to actually being a leader in the field. So this is Art Dealer Diaries  Podcast #255 with Jim Rea.

Had a wonderful podcast today with Curt Walters. He's always been one of my favorite painters. He is known as a Grand Canyon painter, but he paints all sorts of things of all shapes and sizes, painting a giant canyon one day, and water lilies the next. It was fun to be able to listen to his journey as it was not an easy one. Curt grew up in Farmington, New Mexico and he was dyslexic. As a kid, he was having issues dealing with a learning disability that most people just didn't understand at that point in time. People would just assume that he didn't have the capacity for schooling. Fast forward 60 years and  Curt has won more than a dozen awards from all over the West. Almost all of his paintings sell as soon as he finishes them. He is iconic in what he does and who he is. It was a very fun and interesting time.

I so got starstruck other day by Billy Zane.”“I got onto the elevator and forgot to hit the damned button to get on the next floor, and then walked right off on the same level.  And I'm giggling like a little girl!  It was so stupid!  I'm telling my friend, ‘Dude, I thought the elevator moved.  Didn't you feel the elevator move?'  She says, ‘I felt the elevator move.'  I said, ‘It must have just been Billy Zane afterwaves.'  I don't even know.”“I've never been that starstruck before.”​Support the show (http://kensthinktank.com/)

https://kensthinktank.com/painting-in-a-paris-dumpster-s01e07/Curt Walters on Ken's Think Tank Season 1, Episode 7“I was in Paris.  Paris loves their artists.”“This was the first time I went to Paris.  I had just turned 40, and I gave myself a birthday present . . . I went to Paris.  I painted almost every day.  I found this great apartment right on the left bank near the Eiffel Tower.”“On the last day, I decided that I wanted to paint that street and all those little shops and all those people I had gotten to know on that street.  The only view that was perfectly looking down the street was a big dumpster.  It was a waist-high dumpster.”“It was a Sunday so I didn't think anybody would bother me, so I just crawled into the dumpster and started painting.  The Parisians would come by and scratch their heads and say a few words and off they'd go.  Finally, this construction guy comes down . . . and he's got an armload full of trash.  He says a few words and sets his stuff down on the ground.  He does this all afternoon . . . until I finished the painting.”Did you ever figure out what they were saying?“No.  Not a word.”Support the show (http://kensthinktank.com/)

The crazy snow storm that dumped massive amounts of snow on NM and AZ last weekend kept me from making this trip as planned last Friday – so I’m making the trip on Sunday after the Mayor’s Ball on Saturday night. The Sedona International Film Festival started last weekend, and I'm headed down to watch a very special film. I'm on the way to a viewing of a brand new documentary on the life of artist, Curt Walters. The film will play during the festival, then I’m off to the party afterwards, and stay with Curt for the weekend. Who is Curt Walters?
