“Well, I don’t know that it [Castelli Gallery] is so different from others. Perhaps the idea that is behind it – of not only buying and selling paintings and having a stable of painters – but to do a historical job… trying to find out what the new trends would be in American art. I am limited to that. And trying to discover these new trends sooner than other people, perhaps.” —Leo Castelli
In typical fashion, Leo Castelli really understates the case for Castelli Gallery in this insightful interview from 1976 with Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel for her TV show About the Arts. The video is courtesy of the Diamonstein-Spielvogel Video Archive in the Duke University Libraries.
