   Downtown Dealers | Featuring Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn and Alma Luxembourg

   Recorded at the fourth edition of Independent 20th Century, the live conversation series Downtown Dealers continued with a special “uptown edition” episode, bringing together Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn, founder of Salon 94 in New York, and Alma Luxembourg, partner at Luxembourg + Co. in New York and London, moderated by Puck’s Art Correspondent Marion Maneker. They discussed how selling art is “more like detective work” than a retail experience, how fairs offer opportunities to meet new people, and how historical art can carry contemporary relevance.

   Downtown Dealers | Featuring Cay Sophie Rabinowitz and Phillip March Jones

   Downtown Dealers returns with a new podcast episode spotlighting two influential gallerists whose practices evolved out of publishing, curating, social justice, and non-profit initiatives. Phillip March Jones, founder of MARCH, and Cay Sophie Rabinowitz of OSMOS join Independent’s founder Elizabeth Dee for a conversation about becoming “accidental dealers,” bridging between the Southern and New York art scenes. From Rabinowitz’s editorial roots at Parkett magazine to Jones’s early leadership of the Souls Grown Deep Foundation, the episode traces how both dealers draw on a deep sense of place, community, and purpose.
