    You know what it takes to sell art? It takes brass balls to sell art.

    I second the collar buttoning comment. What fancy guy even wears a button down collar? Geez.

    @lobstr: speaking of Schnable, he was on 60 Minutes last night acting like a douchebag. I guess there's something in the Evian.

    I guarantee you he wrote this on the toilet in the gallery bathroom. It's where he does all his big thinking and takes all his calls.

    "I basically put in eighteen hours a day, which any number of people could verify. Including my wife, who is currently screwing the pool boy. We haven't had sex in 6 months, what do you expect? You don't expect to get LAID in times like these, do you?"

    How would Denton write a letter like this to his minions?

    Shut up, Gogo. I hope all your employees quit on the same day and start up their own gallery where they earn four times what you're paying them. And I hope you can't find any more glossy-haired girls willing to sit at your front desk for $24,000 a year. I hope the only people who set foot in your gallery spaces from now on are scum-of-the-earth UES private dealers and Pratt students looking for a glass of free wine at an opening. Which you were probably too cheap to ever serve anyway. This makes me so sick.

    And who wouldn't be willing to commit to a 90 hour workweek? And I wonder how many hours of this dipshit's 18 hour days are devoted to long dinners at Nobu and manicures.
