THIS IS ART: The Hort Family (As Monsters)

Victor Jeffreys II · 05/10/13 11:40PM

Susan and Michael Hort have been scooping up cutting edge artists before they become household names since the mid 1980's. The Horts were two of John Currin's first supporters, they count Kehinde Wiley among their friends, and they probably got the Elizabeth Peyton painting that hangs in their bedroom in exchange for a cheese sandwich when Peyton was first starting out. The Horts know how to find talent early, to collect deep, and hold until it is time to get out.
