Nanne Dekking: The Salesman

You've announced that you've come to an agreement with Artvest. The TEFAF Foundation is acquiring all the shares in TEFAF New York… Yes, it's true. You know, this kind of collaboration is always rather complicated. After several years of a set-up, it is sometimes wiser to part company. There were beginning to be a lot of bosses for a small organisation. Jeff [Rabin – Ed.] and Michael [Plummer – Ed.] did some excellent work. They had niches at the Park Avenue Armory, they had the contacts, and they already had part of the team. We are truly grateful to them for everything they have done. Relations went downhill a bit towards the end, but that's how it goes. Everybody stayed very professional throughout. Have you kept on the people who worked at Artvest? Yes. Now there's just one team. I think that's good; it's easier when everyone is working for the same entity. We had started to amalgamate the two groups last…
