34
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: How do you get into art investing?

35
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 4: So you know, I used to get these big bonuses

36
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 4: the the wine and spirits business is a bonus based business,

37
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 4: and I would get these big bonuses, and I would,

38
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 4: you know, buy a watch, by a purse, buy all

39
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 4: of toys, the things, the things I like things. And

40
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 4: I remember hearing the record, I think it was a

41
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 4: j record and he talked about art and I was like,

42
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 4: I have not bought that yet, you know it like

43
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 4: it pricked my conscience. And the first real piece that

44
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 4: I invested in was a piece of art from South

45
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 4: Africa from an artist named Nelson Macomo. It was incredible artists.

46
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 4: And the reason why I say invested in is because

47
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 4: it was literally half my bonus and I and it

48
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 4: was hard for people to understand. They were like, you're

49
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 4: gonna spend what you're gonna what where are you talking?

50
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 4: That's a lot of money, just because we haven't really

51
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 4: been taught the value. It was like twenty five thousand.

52
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 5: Dollars and who educated you to know that that was

53
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 5: something that you should buy?

54
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: Well? And with that purchase, I just loved it.

55
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 2: Just looked at it and just like I loved it.

56
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 4: And I researched the artists and I mean it fell

57
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 4: in line with just kind of me falling in love

58
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 4: with South Africa too, you know, and I loved it.

59
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 4: So I think the first thing that I always like

60
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 4: to tell people is even though I invest in art,

61
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 4: I only invest in what I love. Like, if I

62
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 4: don't love it, I'm not really going to spend my

63
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 4: money on it. And so I've been really fortunate to

64
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 4: get to know a lot of artists directly, buy from

65
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 4: artists directly, so you circumvent the whole gallery and all

66
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 4: that kind of and you're supporting the artists, like the

67
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 4: artist is getting one hundred percent.

68
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: How much is that worth now?

69
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: I don't know.

70
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 3: That's interesting, right, I see it.

71
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: I love it.

72
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: Definitely worth more than what I bought it.

73
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 3: I'm assuming that maybe it was Picasto Babies a Jay

74
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 3: song that might have sparked it. But does that now

75
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 3: spark your love for art or did it just transit

76
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,839
Speaker 3: into to South African art?

77
00:03:58,920 --> 00:03:59,119
Speaker 2: Right?

78
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 3: Did you start studying art, American artists, artists throughout the

79
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 3: world and now this becomes a passion for you based

80
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 3: on that one purchase.

81
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 2: Yeah?

82
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 4: You know what I realized art for me was I

83
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 4: just got lost in it. Like I realized I was like,

84
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 4: I love this, like I had just like this genuine

85
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 4: passion for it. I didn't grow up going to museums.

86
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 4: I didn't grow up going to art exhibits. I didn't

87
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 4: grow up in a house where there was art. And

88
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 4: so I think for me, I was like, oh, wait,

89
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 4: we belong here too. You know that it was really

90
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 4: that that fueled me. I was like, wait, this is

91
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 4: this is a space that we belong in as well,

92
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 4: and there's such an incredible art community. So I also

93
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 4: was enjoying like getting to meet people, you know, and

94
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 4: those people are like involved.

95
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: In in some cool stuff, you know.

96
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 4: So I think it was that definitely, you know, African art, art,

97
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 4: Black artists in general, you know, was something that I

98
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 4: was like, Okay, I love this.

99
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: These stories are incredible.

100
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 4: And then it became like, yeah, like you know, I

101
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 4: remember buying a piece.

102
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: You asked about the value.

103
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 4: I bought a piece for like twelve thousand dollars, and

104
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 4: I remember seeing an auction for the artists and her

105
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 4: piece so for ninety thousand dollars, and like, I have

106
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 4: one of her bigger pieces, earlier works that I bought

107
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 4: for twelve thousand dollars that's clearly gone up in value.

108
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 4: So I then also started just to understand like, oh, okay,

109
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 4: this is how that works. And then I think when

110
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 4: you study really wealthy people, really wealthy people have a

111
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 4: few things in common. They have real estate, a lot

112
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 4: of them have a lot of investment in wine, and

113
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 4: they invest in art. And I was like, okay, this

114
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 4: all kind of makes sense for me. You know, this

115
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 4: is the space that I play in.

116
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 2: Any way, So how many pieces do you have? Roughly?

117
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: Oh? Now, I probably have.

118
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 4: Over forty or fifty pieces of art and everything, not

119
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 4: just you know, I have sculptures, I have vases, I have.

120
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 2: I mean you so, wait, where do you keep it all?

121
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 4: It's everywhere. I mean, it's in my bathrooms, it's on

122
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 4: the floors.

123
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 5: But it ever get to a point because it's like,

124
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,799
Speaker 5: all right, you could invest in a variety of things,

125
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 5: that art is some way where has to be kept, right,

126
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 5: So after a while, it's like you can't really fully

127
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 5: appreciate it. I don't think because you can't put it

128
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 5: on your wall. You can't put fifty pieces of art

129
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 5: on one wall, right, So it's like you could put

130
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 5: it in your office, you can put it in different places.

131
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 5: But when you really start to get a lot of art,

132
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 5: I'm always curious to know, like what are people doing

133
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 5: with all of the art that they are?

134
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 2: They just hoarding it in the basement.

135
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 4: Takes Yeah, I mean listen, people, do you have you know,

136
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 4: art storages that are specific for art, just like they

137
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 4: have wine storages. For me, I'm working to sell a

138
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 4: lot of wine so I could buy a nice, big

139
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 4: house so I can have all my art up in it,

140
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 4: you know.

141
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: I mean, now it's.

142
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 5: Because the art, the art storage that kind of I

143
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 5: don't understand that. I used to go I used to

144
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 5: go to art school when I was young. But I

145
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 5: don't understand art storage because the point of artists to

146
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 5: be appreciated, and if you're just storing it, I feel

147
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 5: like it's actually disrespectful to the art form, right because

148
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 5: now you've taken the beauty out of it, and now

149
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 5: it's just become like a file cabinet.

150
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 3: And all things a double entendre. You use the word

151
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 3: appreciate it while it's story, it is appreciatingiating.

152
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 2: But I get what you're saying.

153
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 5: Your art from an artist's standpoint, I understand the business, yeah,

154
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 5: but art should always come first.

155
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: The business should come second.

156
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 3: Well, some people create galleries, right, they create their own galleries.

157
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 4: Which I mean, I know people who have bought the

158
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 4: house is next to their house, and the house next

159
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 4: to the house.

160
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 2: It's art the gallery.

161
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: It's just amazing. Right. So I'm with you like part.

162
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 4: And when you ask me like the buying, you know

163
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 4: my rationale around buying only buy what I love because,

164
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 4: like you, I want it up. I want to see it,

165
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 4: I want to appreciate it. I also want to share

166
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 4: it with people. So like when friends come over, they'll

167
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 4: be like, your house is like a museum, and I.

168
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: Mean you feel so good, you know what I mean.

169
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 4: Like, I'm like, yeah, So everybody does it for a

170
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 4: different reason. But what I could tell you is again,

171
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 4: one thing I learned is that people that understand wealth

172
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 4: they into art.

173
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: They interwine and they into really well.

174
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 5: One thing I learned about art is that if you

175
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 5: put it in your office, is a tax right on.

176
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: It is a tax right off.

177
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

178
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 3: So I was saying, one of the places that we

179
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 3: definitely know that your art is going to show up

180
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 3: is the Smithsonian.

181
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 2: Yes, we'll talk about that.

182
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 3: I mean that's something that people will be able to

183
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 3: frequent and you go down in history forever.

184
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, that's exciting. So myself and ten collectors got together.

185
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 4: We've now acquired three pieces together and it's our way

186
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 4: of you know, collective economics, and we purchase a piece,

187
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 4: a Beisa Butler piece that we then donated to the

188
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 4: Smithsonian Museum in DC. And so my name will forever

189
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 4: be on the museum walls at the Smithsonian as a

190
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 4: donor of the piece, and not even that little thing, right,

191
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 4: Like we talk about like having the art in your

192
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 4: home and wanting to see it. I remember thinking like wow,

193
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 4: donating to a museum. But that's really also a big

194
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 4: part of you know, the art world, art collecting and

195
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 4: also increasing the value of your collection. So my collection

196
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 4: inadvertently increases in value because I own a piece in

197
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 4: a museum. And people who are in the art world

198
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 4: they know all these little nuances.

199
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 3: Do you see Because we talk about it in real estate, right,

200
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 3: a lot of times, if people can't afford the property,

201
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 3: let's have a collective. Maybe it's five people and we

202
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 3: make the down payment. All right, we go into do.

203
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 2: You see that?

204
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 3: And is that something that happens in the art or

205
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 3: often especially amongst our community.

206
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 1: You know, I don't want to misspeak.

207
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 4: You know, the collective that I'm a part of, that

208
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 4: was the first instance that I had ever heard of it.

209
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure people are doing it, I just don't know.

210
00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: You know.

211
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 4: The two pieces we bought, they were both one hundred

212
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 4: and fifty thousand dollars each. They go together. It's Adam

213
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,959
Speaker 4: and Eve by Harmonia Rosales. So the total price of

214
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 4: the work was three hundred thousand dollars. And when we

215
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 4: all thought about it. We were like, I can't do that,

216
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 4: but I could do this, and so ten of us

217
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 4: got together and purchased it. Those two pieces have been

218
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 4: on display at different museums. It's actually at the Spellman

219
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 4: Museum right now, and so we're allowing the work to

220
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 4: just tour so people get to experience it. And once

221
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 4: we did that one, we were like, all right, let's

222
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 4: keep doing this. This is amazing. So I don't want

223
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 4: to say that it does happen, but I don't want

224
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 4: to say that it doesn't happen.

225
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: I just wasn't aware of it.

226
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 4: I know that when we had the opportunity to do

227
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 4: it together, I said, come on, y'all, let's do this.

228
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 4: Because it was thirty thousand dollars. But at the end

229
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 4: of the day, I'm part owner of three hundred thousand

230
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 4: dollars worth of art and that's just that one buy.

231
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 5: So what did like some best practices people that want

232
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 5: to get in art, like, is it like always go

233
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 5: through an art dealer, have insurance like you know, like

234
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 5: when you buy a watch, right, like you can. It's

235
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 5: best practices to go through authorized dealer as opposed to

236
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 5: just a jeweler. Right, It's best practices to have insurance

237
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 5: on the watch right, What are some of the best

238
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 5: practices for art buying.

239
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean again, I've been really fortunate. I've been

240
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 4: able to buy a lot of art directly through art

241
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 4: through artists. And the reason why I say fortunate is

242
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 4: because one, you get to know who you're buying the

243
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 4: work from. I mean, this work is in your home.

244
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 4: It's energy, right, A lot of these pieces have stories,

245
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 4: these artists maybe going through different things while they're actually

246
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 4: creating the work.

247
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: And so.

248
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 4: You know, I'm an advocate for people that want to

249
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 4: get to know the artists if you can.

250
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: It's worked for me.

251
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 4: Secondarily, you know, I've gotten to know some galleries that

252
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 4: I respect that I think are doing good by artists.

253
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 4: So you know it doesn't hurt to have some galleries

254
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 4: and your rep bet why, only by what you can afford.

255
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 4: And so I would say that that's my biggest advice

256
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 4: to people. You know, I've never financed any art, although

257
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 4: you can. You know, there are financing programs for art,

258
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 4: but I just like to think for good financial hygiene,

259
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 4: buy what you can afford.

260
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: That's worked for me.

261
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 4: You absolutely have to ensure your art and you have

262
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 4: to make sure that it's a reputable insurance that specializes

263
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 4: in art insurance. You need to think about where the

264
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 4: art is going to be in your home. A lot

265
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 4: of light is not friends. It's not art's friends like

266
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 4: light light. Yeah, so it ruins. It can, yeah it can.

267
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 4: So you know, making sure that the art is in

268
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 4: a position in your home that it isn't getting damaged,

269
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 4: making sure that you're framing with a reputable framer that's

270
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 4: going to talk to you about UV glass versus museum glassman.

271
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 4: This is all the stuff that goes into thinking about

272
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 4: preserving your art. And then you know, I've not been

273
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 4: someone who's gotten into the business of selling my art.

274
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 4: I know people that are in that business of selling.

275
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 4: I can't say that I would never do it for me.

276
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 4: It's legacy building. So this is what I'm going to

277
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 4: leave behind for my son, my goddaughters, my grandchild, you

278
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 4: know what I mean. Like this is really legacy building

279
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 4: for me and wealth building for them. So I think

280
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 4: it's just making sure you get educated, like you do

281
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 4: in anything that you're going to be investing your money.

282
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 4: And the last thing I'll say is the ten people

283
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 4: that I invested in art. I respect all those people

284
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 4: I expect, respect their portfolios, right, what they've done with

285
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 4: their money. I would have never just gotten with ten

286
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 4: people and bought some art that I didn't know I

287
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 4: felt were a good fit in what I was trying

288
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 4: to do, because that's a relationship. You're getting into a

289
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 4: business relationship with them. But I think the biggest thing

290
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 4: is by what you can afford and do all the

291
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 4: due diligence, the insurance and all that kind of thing

292
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 4: to make sure you're protecting your asset.

293
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 2: When it's touring.

294
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 3: Museums are paying to have it on display.

295
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 2: How does that work?

296
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, so sometimes you will get paid by museums to

297
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 4: have the work. Sometimes it's that you're donating it because

298
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 4: you want the connection. You want to lean into the

299
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 4: equity of the of I think the institution, right, A

300
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 4: lot of these institutions have incredible equity. Smithsonian, for example.

301
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 4: I mean for me to say that I've been collecting

302
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 4: for five six years and I already have my name

303
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 4: in the most Smithsonian Museum is like a big deal.

304
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: So you know it's it's a mix.

305
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 4: But yeah, there are times where institutions will pay you

306
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,359
Speaker 4: to actually have your art and their exhibits.

307
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 6: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child

308
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 6: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from El Salvador

309
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 6: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with

310
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 6: filming and selling child biography in Michigan. These are just

311
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 6: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President

312
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 6: Donald J.

313
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 7: Trump's leadership. I'm Christy Noman, the United States Secretary of

314
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 7: Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border crossings are

315
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,760
