View full detailsEach old work of art has stories to reveal. In addition to esthetics, that is what draws is to art from the past. When I started working for Richard Reed Armstrong Fine Art in 1998 most everything was sold at in-person shows or over the phone. All our sales were predicated on an exchange of stories.
