The Dash Snow/Dan Colen collaboration at Deitch Projects is quickly becoming exhibit A in establishing Deitch’s curatorial (or perhaps we should say “revolutionary” bona fides) if this Los Angeles Times profile is anything to go by:

Dan Colen, one of the “Nest” creators, expects he’ll have no problems: “There’s no gallerist like him. He can do anything.”

Before he met Deitch, however, Colen was skeptical of the slightly opaque dealer known by his custom-made Italian suits and round-rimmed glasses. (Sometimes he color-coordinates his glasses with his suits.)

“Oh, I thought Jeffrey was just another shark in a suit who’d made a reputation marketing the souls of young artists,” said Colen, a painter and sculptor who is now 30 and represented by the esteemed Gagosian Galleries and Culver City’s Peres Projects. “But I was wrong, totally misinformed. Jeffrey is a good businessman and he really gets the art.”
