The result is this unique collaboration that brings us out of our home cities and into an entirely new environment.» Commented Nicolas Kugel, «By joining forces with Brimo and Di Castro, we are able to bring an exceptionally diverse offering of fine art to New York, breaking down the barriers of segmentation that so often exists in the art world.»
