We dove into that story <a href=\"https:\/\/gorgeousbrides.net\/pt\/blog\/conhecer-mulheres-tailandesas\/\">https:\/\/gorgeousbrides.net\/pt\/blog\/conhecer-mulheres-tailandesas\/<\/a>, and then discussed how his collecting took an equally sudden turn and set him on a course of personal engagement with the visual arts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo fast forward. I moved to New York to be with my wife, a doctor and a Temple graduate. She attended medical school on Long Island and I went to live with her. We , nine and ten came, and all of a sudden the world fell apart. No one had money, institutions didn&#8217;t have money, and I started to buy art.<\/p>\n<p>So I was buying significant objects that became available at a fraction of the day&#8217;s cost. I was buying modern American Masters who happened to be African American artists. (Henry Ossawa) Tanner, Hughie Lee-Smith, Jacob Lawrence, Elizabeth Catlett. You name it, I was buying it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I mentioned to Reggie that it was striking that while \u2018everything was falling apart&#8217; he had the discipline to know that the crisis was actually a buying opportunity and that he didn&#8217;t fall into the cycle of fear that seemed to wash over everyone else.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw it as relative value. The world was falling apart. So here is where my profession kicks in. I&#8217;m thinking about an asset class&#8230; art. I&#8217;m looking at objects that I think are significant and they&#8217;re within reach. But even then discipline did come in. I mean I have to tell you the number of objects I should have bought that I didn&#8217;t because of the number (price) that was attached to them. Now they&#8217;re twenty times what they were in 2010.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Evolution to Deeper Engagement<\/h2>\n<p>As our discussion progressed, Reggie started to stake out what art means to him and how he progressed from simply buying art to a deeper, more personal engagement in the art ecosystem.<!--more--> He began this part of the story by tracing back to his first exposure to art in the black community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think my family always placed an emphasis on identity&#8230;who you are. Their homes always had identity art. There was a sculpture of Ira Aldridge, the black Othello. It was passed down to me and I still have it. It was a signifier of who you are in the world. If you look at any black home in the 1960s, there were two photographs on the wall. There was a picture of JFK and a picture of Martin Luther King.<\/p>\n<p>So I started to buy art, but I began to see that they were trophies. And then I met Laura Lee Brown, the owner of 21c Museums. Her message was buy art, but only buy art of living artists; artists that I get to meet. I was like&#8230;that&#8217;s it! Contemporary art. I wanted to start meeting people and connecting the human side of this equation. So I pivoted&#8230; probably 2012.<\/p>\n<p>It was really about understanding who I was and elements of my character; and what I wanted to display to anyone walking into my private spaces. Here I am&#8230; a twenty something Wall Streeter, making a little money. I was exposed to really wealthy people and how they were living. And that (art as an expression of self) was what was impressed upon me.<\/p>\n<p>I think anyone who has a deep passion for the arts wants that engagement; wants that expression of who you are as a person. You want to be exposed to storytelling and you want to retell that story through personal objects. And that&#8217;s the case for anyone no matter who you are, whether you&#8217;re a dog owner, or whether you love plants. You&#8217;re creating a space that says who you truly are in your being. Whether you&#8217;re having Sunday dinner with your family, or having friends over Friday night, everyone wants to create an environment that welcomes people into their life. So I chose art. I love to cook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>But also I love the epicurean outcomes A Kick-Start on Collecting Reggie&#8217;s background had prepared him to become a collector, but it was a sudden change in the global financial climate that kick-started the process.
