4 Questions with Louis Buhl & Co. collector Dan Nguyen

 
 


Tell us about the first work of art you ever acquired from Louis Buhl & Co.



The Sam Friedman Beach Monoprints. I enjoyed his process on that series and how each was made without any prior planning as if he was just freestyling. I really loved the vivid colors as well. 

 
 
 
 


Which Louis Buhl & Co. artists would you most like to meet in person?

Karl Wirsum, he is a legend! He probably has a great sense of humor based on his works. I also like other artists of The Hairy Who, such as Gladys Nilsson and Jim Nutt.

 

What Louis Buhl & Co project would be the dream addition to your collection?

In terms of past projects, the Adam Parker Smith Amphora Sculptures. Some dream future collaborations would be with Amir Fallah or other members of The Hairy Who. 

 
 
I am mostly interested in figurative art.
I tend to buy works that are rich in color and unique in style from other things in my collection.

How would you describe your taste in art? what are you most drawn to?

I am mostly interested in figurative art. I tend to buy works that are rich in color and unique in style from other things in my collection. I would say I have pretty diverse taste overall though.
