"'Artists Sketchbooks', the first exhibition in my new gallery, represents the culmination of nearly a year's work. The exhibition, while it includes sketchbooks by some of the most important artists of our time, is not meant to be comprehensive. It represents instead a personal selection of sketchbooks by many of the artists whose works mean the most to me.
