Forbes – Last week, Kelly Crow, Sara Germano and David Benoit at the Wall Street Journal wrote about the way in which hedge fund art collectors “arguably influence the prices and popularity of the world’s top artists–from mainstays like Claude Monet to newer hits like Jean-Michel Basquiat–to an extent unmatched by emirs and oligarchs.”
Which brought to mind my recent chat with real estate developer and collector Ron Pizzuti, who opened the Pizzuti Collection to the public last September in a new non-profit exhibition space inside a 90-year-old former insurance company headquarters in Columbus, Ohio.
