An anniversary is an important time of celebration; however, it is also a time to reflect on the past. This year, as Artexpo celebrates 30 years in the industry, we remember the artists, publishers and personalities that have helped build Artexpo over the past three decades. What better way to honor these members of the art community than with a place where they will forever be remembered for their contributions, the Artexpo Hall of Fame.
It is with great pleasure that I present the inaugural Artexpo Hall of Fame Inductees. These 35 artists and publishers have made their marks in the art world and committed their lives to establishing an industry where creative minds can grow and flourish. I truly thank them for all of their hard work and dedication.
I would also like to thank the three members of the Artexpo Hall of Fame Selection Committee: Michel Roux, president and CEO of Crillon Importers; Dorothea Keeser, director of the Chelsea Art Museum and Robert Mitrotti, founder of RPM Media.
It is my hope that the Artexpo Hall of Fame and its inductees will help educate and inspire the next generation of art enthusiasts. I look forward to building on the success of our inaugural year in the 2009 Artexpo Hall of Fame.
Sincerely,
Eric Smith
