Again, Glimcher sent it on loan, fielding ten phone calls from Kirshenbaum in 48 hours.
The agency thrived from the start, and Kirshenbaum was too preoccupied to focus much on collecting.
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Sheril Kirshenbaum.
Since then Kirshenbaum, 51, has bought a dozen pieces from Glimcher, 48.
Kirshenbaum had become friendly with Glimcher, the son of Pace founder Arne Glimcher (see p. 102), and had asked for his help in assembling a serious collection.
The piece is full of dramatic movement and, Pace Gallery dealer Marc Glimcher reasoned, perfectly matched the hyperkinetic energy of New York City adman art collector Richard Kirshenbaum.
Though Kirshenbaum still occasionally buys on impulse--example: a large canvas perforated with holes, depicting a rabbit on a pink-and-gray background, by contemporary British artist Charming Baker--Glimcher remains his chief advisor.
As Kirshenbaum began working with Glimcher, his finances improved.
After he bought the Calder and the Tomlin, Kirshenbaum wanted a piece by Josef Albers, a German-born Bauhaus artist who pioneered so-called color field painting, in which large blocks of color are spread across a canvas.
